Print a Report

Our data crunching is done, time to print a pretty report!

You can use the .sort() method to sort a list of dictionaries:

# A function that takes a dictionary and returns the value of the "num" key
# This is how the `.sort()` method knows how to sort the list of dictionaries
def sort_on(items):
    return items["num"]

vehicles = [
    {"name": "car", "num": 7},
    {"name": "plane", "num": 10},
    {"name": "boat", "num": 2}
]
vehicles.sort(reverse=True, key=sort_on)
print(vehicles)
# [{'name': 'plane', 'num': 10}, {'name': 'car', 'num': 7}, {'name': 'boat', 'num': 2}]

This is the structure of the report you need to print:

============= END ===============

Add a new function to your stats.py file that takes the dictionary of characters and their counts and returns a sorted list of dictionaries.
- Each dictionary should have two key-value pairs: one for the character itself and one for that character's count (e.g. {"char": "b", "num": 4868}).
- Use the .sort() method:
  - Use a helper function to return the "num" key of each dictionary for comparison.
  - Sort the list from greatest to least by the count.
Import and call the function in main.py, and capture the result.
Print the report to the console as shown above. If the character is not an alphabetical character (using the .isalpha() method), just skip it. (Be sure to match the expected output in the CLI tests!)

Run and submit the CLI tests.
