Start by displaying the text "Press a number", and using GetKey() to let the user press a key.

Wouldn't you'd just get the keypress, then have the program run through a look up table and return the value from the table?

That's too hard for beginners
so do i do that for every number? or just once?

Whatever number the user presses. Try it.

What would you do if you were writing a Ti-Basic program?  You would have a label to mark a loop.  You ask a user to press a key, and you see if the key is a number.  If it is, you display the number.  If not, you get another key press.

For example:

Lbl KE

getKey->K
If K > ...and K < ...
Goto DI
Goto KE

Lbl DI:

Disp K


Try it now in terms of ASM

He means you should try to make the program in ASM: the user presses a button, you give the key code.

Exactly.  I felt that if you visualized it in Basic, you could better figure out how to start, how to end, and what your goals are
