Standard competition ranking (also known as "1224" ranking) assigns the same rank to matching values. Rank numbers are increased each time, so ranks are sometimes skipped. If we have 5 scores (the highest score having a rank of 1):
No matching values:
Scores = [99, 98, 97, 96, 95]
Rank = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
With matching values:
Scores = [99, 98, 98, 96, 95]
Rank = 1, 2, 2, 4, 5
# Second and third scores are equal, so rank "3" is skipped.
Given a dictionary containing the names and scores of 5 competitors, and a competitor name, return the rank of that competitor after applying competition ranking.
competition_rank({
"George": 96,
"Emily": 95,

}, "Jane") ➞ 4
competition_rank({
"Kate": 92,
"Carol": 92,
"Jess": 87,
"Bruce": 87,
"Scott": 84
