By now we have seen and discussed the homework six help.

Likewise you must have looked at the exercises and problems posted yesterday.

Here is the assignment for today: 

Write a program that 

a) receives a list of tuples and 
b) sorts the list in descending order 
                     by the value of the second component of the tuples.

In other words write the function lab(...) missing below: 

def lab(...):
    ...

def show(tuples):
    for i in range(len(tuples)):
        print i+1, tuples[i]
    
a = [('Sandor Kocsis (Hungary)', 11), \
     ('Helmut Rahn (Germany)', 10), \
     ('Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany)', 11), \
     ('Gabriel Batistuta (Argentina)', 10), \
     ('Teofilio Cubillas (Peru)', 10), \
     ('Pele (Brazil)', 12), \
     ('Grzegorz Lato (Poland)', 10), \
     ('Ronaldo (Brazil)', 15), \
     ('Juste Fontaine (France)', 13), \
     ('Gerd Muller (Germany)', 14), \
     ('Gary Lineker (England)', 10) \
     ]

lab(a)
show(a)

When you define lab(...) the code above prints: 

>>> ================================ RESTART ================================
>>> 
1 ('Ronaldo (Brazil)', 15)
2 ('Gerd Muller (Germany)', 14)
3 ('Juste Fontaine (France)', 13)
4 ('Pele (Brazil)', 12)
5 ('Sandor Kocsis (Hungary)', 11)
6 ('Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany)', 11)
7 ('Grzegorz Lato (Poland)', 10)
8 ('Gabriel Batistuta (Argentina)', 10)
9 ('Teofilio Cubillas (Peru)', 10)
10 ('Helmut Rahn (Germany)', 10)
11 ('Gary Lineker (England)', 10)
>>> 

This is your lab assignment for the day.
