Question 1 continued.

c) Write a Java program that allows football teams to be rated. It asks the user to type in the name of a player. The program then asks for a score out of 10 for how well that player played. Finally it prints a message about them containing their name and varying depending on the score: Flop! if the score was less than 5, Star! if the score was more than 8 and Solid otherwise. An example run of the program might go: Name? Sasha Score? 9 Sasha, you are a Star! Extend your program with a loop so that it does the above for each of the 11 players in the team in turn before ending. Your program should check for the range of the input (between 0 and 10), though you may assume that an integer is always input for the score. Answer:

[10 Marks]
