I have written a function that -reads a file -splits the words and

I want to print the words with top 20 occurrences in the file in
reverse order - but can't figure it out. Here is my function:
Once you've generated your dictionary, use a list comprehension to
turn it into a list of tuples of ( word, count ). Sort the list of
tuples according to the count element. Select the top 20. copy it to
a new list and reverse that list. now loop through the second list
and print results.
You don't need a list comprehension to turn it into a list of tuples,
and you don't need to sort and reverse as separate steps.
In fact, there's a class in the collections module that'll do virtually
all of the work for you!
