How to convert this SQL query to PL/SQL

Question

I basically need to create an anonymous block that will display each student's first name, last name and the count of students who scored less on test 1 than the student.
So basically we need to find the count of students who have scored less than that particular student and we do it for all students in the table.
So for this particular query i designed my code in SQL
select g1.gr_fname, g1.gr_lname, count(*)
from grade g1, grade g2
where g1.gr_t1 > g2.gr_t1 and
g1.std_code = g2.std_code
group by g1.gr_fname, g1.gr_lname;
But i am unable to get the logic as to how to execute it in PL/SQL,I am missing something a minor detail to execute the same in PL/SQL
could someone please help me with the logic.
Thanks
