Race Results

Unit 5 Session 1 (Click for link to problem statements)

U-nderstand

Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

• What format should be used to display the race results?
  • Each player's place in the race should be displayed followed by their character name.

P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Iterate through the list of Player objects and print each player's position in the race alongside their character name.

1) Define the function `print_results` that takes a list `race_results` as its parameter.
2) Use a loop to iterate through the list, using `enumerate` to get both the index (place) and the Player object (racer).
3) Format the output to display the race position followed by the character name of each racer.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Starting the enumeration at 0 instead of 1, which would incorrectly number the racers starting from 0.
• Misprinting details such as racer name or position due to incorrect string formatting.
