Question

important note : using dynamic arrays. You must ask the user for the number of candidates and then create the appropriate arrays to hold the data

Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the number of votes received by each candidate. The program should then output each candidate's name, the number of votes received, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate. Your program should also output the winner of the election. A sample output is: Candidate Votes Received % of Total Votes Johnson Miller Duffy Robinson Ashtony Total 5000 4000 6000 2500 1800 19300 25.91 20.73 31.09 12.95 9.33 The Winner of the Election is Duffy.

Explanation / Answer

Hi Dear,

Please find my implementation.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int n;
cout<<"How many candidates: ";
cin>>n;
   string *name = new string[n];
   int *votes = new int[n];
   float *percent = new float[n];
   int i,mx,total=0;
   for(i=0;i<n;i++)
   {
       cout<<"Enter Name : ";
       cin>>name[i];
       cout<<"Enter no of votes given to "<<name[i]<<" : ";
       cin>>votes[i];
       total += votes[i];
   }
   mx = 0;
   for(i=0;i<n;i++)
   {
       percent[i] = (votes[i]/(float)total )*100.0 ;
       if(percent[i]>percent[mx])
       {
           mx = i;
       }
    
   }
   cout<<" Candidate Votes received % of Total Votes ";
   for(i=0;i<n;i++)
   {
       cout<<name[i]<<" "<<votes[i]<<" "<<percent[i]<<endl;
   }
   cout<<"The winner of the election is "<<name[mx]<<". ";

   delete [] name;
   delete [] votes;
   delete [] percent;
   return 0;
}
