Weighted Autocomplete

You are building an autocomplete engine. Each word in the dictionary has a popularity score. When a user types a prefix, you must return the word with that prefix that has the HIGHEST popularity score. If there is a tie, return the lexicographically smaller word. If no word matches, print 'NONE'. Example: Input: 3 hi 10 hello 20 high 15 1 h Output: hello
