After we have our game scores saved in a file, we may display the score ranking at the end of a game. In the following code segment, file "score.txt" is opened in read mode as score_file. Then the file content is read using method readlines( ) that returns a list with each line as an element. The list is saved in a variable named score_record.
For example, if "score.txt" has four scores saved in four lines, score_record will have four elements, one element for each line.
score.txt:
225
195
270
930
score_record = [225\n, 195\n, 270\n, 930\n]
