如何使用python中的文本文件创建排行榜？

Question

I'm working on a quiz for my exam in computer science. I'm relatively new to the program, in the sense that I know all of the basics, but I am on the point where I want to expand my knowledge. One way I want to do this is by adding a Leaderboard system. The user gets a number of points, and then the program checks in a text file that has other high scores in it, and adds the user to it. It then prints out the leaderboard. This means that I'm going to have to use some sort of operations to determine whether the user's score is higher or lower than another score in the file, and then delete the score it is higher than and replace it. Any idea on how to do this? I'm completely stuck.

Answer 1

Try Pseudeocode and work through steps.

1. Get Score
2. Compare Score
3. Add Score

You have to think like a computer and break all the way down. At each step think about how do I tell the computer to do that. Once you have all that look at what you have done and remember DRY -> Don't Repeat Yourself. Your coding will go much faster.
