The rankings do not change throughout the tournament. Finally, Sort the players based on the rankings and print the data (show rankings of players, in square brackets, at every step after they are ranked).
USING JAVA COLLECTIONS IS NOT ALLOWED

Answer 1

public class PlayerSort {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] names = {"Ronaldo", "Messi", "Bale", "Neymar", "Isco", "Hazard", "Mbappe", "Sterling"};
        int[] ranks = {1, 2, 5, 3, 8, 4, 6, 7};

        // sorting here
        String tempName;
        int tempRank;
        for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < names.length-1; j++) {
                if (ranks[j] > ranks[j+1]) {
                    tempName = names[j];
                    names[j] = names[j+1];
                    names[j+1] = tempName;

                    tempRank = ranks[j];
                    ranks[j] = ranks[j+1];
                    ranks[j+1] = tempRank;
                }
            }
        }

        // print players
        System.out.println("Players sorted by ranks are:");
        for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(ranks[i] + ". " + names[i]);
        }
    }
}
