Imagine you have a list top_scores list that can store only 5 numbers. Implement an algorithm in Python that simulates a high score leaderboard in a game. The high score leaderboard tracks the top 5 scores that have been posted so far. The behaviour of your program should mimic a leaderboard. Make suitable assumptions if necessary but write them in your solution, Use the following starter code import random # empty list top_scores= [] # loop that generates 50 random numbers for i in range(50): # generate a random number rand_num = random.randint(0,100) # add your code here • Your code should add the random number generated to the list top_scores only if the random number is a new high score. A new high score is when the new number is among the top 5 scores observed so far. Think in terms of a high score board in your favourite game. • Think in terms of what will happen when your list has less than 5 elements. • For example, if the list currently has [10,12,5,9,11] and the new number generated is 42, then 42 will get added and the lowest number 5 will get replaced. so the list will be [10,12,42,9,11]. If the next number generated is 3, nothing will happen as 3 is lesser than all the numbers in the list.
