Explain how you would validate scores and handle errors in the grade-processing project. Include where validation should occur, the acceptable range and type of a score, how an empty score collection should be handled, and why expected invalid input should be treated differently from unexpected programming defects.

A program uses the best_student(students) method described in the material. It initializes the first student as the current best and then examines each remaining student once. If the collection contains 8 students, how many student-to-best comparisons does the method perform?

Fill in the blank
