Answer 1

mapping = {

# create mapping for 0 -9 from the provided data

# ie 0:6...

}

def trace_chain(start):

"""Follow the mapping until it repeats."""

seen = []

current = start

while current not in seen:

seen.append(current)

current = mapping[current]

seen.append(current) # show where it loops back

return seen

# Print chains for all digits

for n in range(10):

chain = trace_chain(n)

chain_str = " → ".join(map(str, chain))

print(f"{n}: {chain_str}")
