9.2.2. World Series#
Instructions#
The WorldSeriesWinners.txt
file contains a chronological list of the World
Series’ winning teams from \(1903\) through \(2023\). The first line in the
file is the name of the team that won in \(1903\), and the last line is the name of
the team that won in \(2023\). Note that the World Series was not played in
\(1904\) or \(1994\) and there are no entries in the file for those years.
Write a function named load_winners_data
that loads the World Series winner
data from the data file and uses it to create and return two dictionaries. In the first
dictionary, the keys should be the names of the teams, and each key’s associated value
is the number of times that team has won the World Series. The second dictionary should
have the years as keys, and each key’s associated value is the name of the team that won
that year.
Then write the main
function of the program so that it prompts the user to
enter a year in the range of \(1903\) through \(2023\). After the user enters a
year, the program should display the name of the team that won the World Series that
year, and the number of times that team has won the World Series. Years without a
winner should also be handled.
