Instructions

In this exercise, you're implementing a way to keep track of the high scores for the most popular game in your local arcade hall.

You have 7 functions to implement, all related to returning and manipulating a dictionary of high score data.

1. Define a new high score dictionary

Create a function newScoreBoard() that takes no parameters and returns a new high score dictionary which uses values of type String for the keys and values of type Int as the values.

2. Add players to the high score dictionary

To add a player to the high score dictionary, define addPlayer(_:_:_:), which is a function which takes 3 parameters:

• The first parameter is the dictionary of scores. This should be an in-out parameter.
• The second parameter is the name of a player as a string.
• The third parameter is the score as an integer. The parameter is optional, implement the third parameter with a default value of 0.

3. Remove players from the score dictionary

To remove a player from the high score dictionary, define removePlayer(_:_:), which takes 2 parameters:

• The first parameter is the dictionary of scores. This should be an in-out parameter.
• The second parameter is the name of the player as a string.

This function should remove the player from the dictionary if they are in it and do nothing otherwise.

4. Reset a player's score

To reset a player's score, define resetPlayer(_:_:), which takes 2 parameters:

• The first parameter is the dictionary of scores. This should be an in-out parameter.
• The second parameter is the name of the player as a string, whose score you wish to reset.

The function will set the score of the player to 0. If the player is not in the dictionary, then nothing should happen.

5. Update a player's score

To update a players score by adding to the previous score, define updateScore, which takes 3 parameters:

• The first parameter is the dictionary of scores. This should be an in-out parameter.
• The second parameter is the name of the player as a string, whose score you wish to update.
• The third parameter is the score that you wish to add to the stored high score.

6. Get a list of players with scores ordered by player name

Define the function orderByPlayers, which takes 1 parameter:

• The first parameter is the dictionary of scores.

The function will return an array of (String, Int) tuples that are the players and their high scores sorted in ascending order by the player's name.

7. Get a list of players ordered by player score in decreasing order

To get a list of players ordered by scores in decreasing order, define orderByScores, which takes 1 parameter:

• The first parameter is the dictionary of scores.

The function will return an array of (String, Int) tuples that are the players and their high scores sorted in descending order by the player's score.
