Rank Scores

Write a SQL query to rank scores. If there is a tie between two scores, both should have the same ranking. Note that after a tie, the next ranking number should be the next consecutive integer value. In other words, there should be no "holes" between ranks.

+----+-------+ | Id | Score | +----+-------+ | 1 | 3.50 | | 2 | 3.65 | | 3 | 4.00 | | 4 | 3.85 | | 5 | 4.00 | | 6 | 3.65 | +----+-------+

For example, given the above Scores table, your query should generate the following report (order by highest score):

+-------+------+ | Score | Rank | +-------+------+ | 4.00 | 1 | | 4.00 | 1 | | 3.85 | 2 | | 3.65 | 3 | | 3.65 | 3 | | 3.50 | 4 | +-------+------+

Solution

# Write your MySQL query statement below

select s.Score, (SELECT count(distinct(Score)) from Scores m where m.Score >= s.Score) as Rank
from Scores s
order by s.Score desc
