Answer 1

To store and output player jersey numbers and ratings, users input five pairs of numbers. These are saved in a dictionary and outputted by sorting the jersey number keys in ascending order.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a dictionary with a player's jersey number as the key and the player's rating as the value, we first need to prompt the user for input. We should ask the user to enter five pairs of numbers: the jersey number (between 0 and 99) and the rating (between 1 and 9). This information will be stored in a dictionary with the jersey numbers as keys and ratings as values.

Once the data is collected, we can then output the contents of the dictionary. To display the elements in ascending order of the jersey numbers, we need to sort the keys of the dictionary. Here's a step-by-step process:

Initialize an empty dictionary.

Prompt the user to input five pairs of numbers and add them to the dictionary.

Retrieve the keys (jersey numbers) and sort them.

Loop through the sorted keys and output each key-value pair.
