[Tutor] reading complex data types from text file

[Chris Castillo]

so could I also replace the score of each bowler (key value) in the
dictionary with a new key such as "below average" or "above average"
according to each if-elif-else structure and then write to a text file in
the following format?

Jim     Above Average
Sue    Below Average
Bob    Perfect score
