Question

Write a program in c++ that allows the user to enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the votes received by each candidate.

The program should then output each candidate’s name, the votes received by that candidate, 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 5000 25.91% Miller 4000 20.72% Duffy 6000 31.09% Robinson 2500 12.95% Anthony 1800 9.33% Tota: 19300 The Winner of the Election is Duffy.

First design a Vote structure to hold candidate, votes received and percentage of total votes. Then use a STL list of Vote structure to implement the program. Whenever possible, you should use STL functions and/or iterators to accomplish the necessary operations. Otherwise, you can not get credit for your implementation. Design the program top-down, with only function calls in main, and function calls within functions.

Please use STL and recursion if you need to, nothing too advanced. Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

here is your program : ------------>>>>>>>>>>>>

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

struct Candidate{
string name;
int votes;
double percent;
};

void calculatePercentage(struct Candidate cands[5],unsigned int tot){
for(int i = 0;i<5;i++){
  cands[i].percent = ((double)cands[i].votes/(double)tot)*100;
}
}

void display(Candidate cands[5],unsigned int tot){
cout<<endl;
int n = 0;
for(int i = 0;i<5;i++){
  cout<<cands[i].name<<" "<<cands[i].votes<<" "<<cands[i].percent<<"% ";
  if(cands[n].votes < cands[i].votes){
   n = i;
  }
}
cout<<"Total = "<<tot;
cout<<" Winner of the election is "<<cands[n].name;
}

int main(){
Candidate candidates[5];
unsigned int total = 0;
for(int i = 0;i<5;i++){
  cout<<(i+1)<<" Candidate Name : ";
  cin>>candidates[i].name;
  cout<<(i+1)<<" Candidate Vote Recieved : ";
  cin>>candidates[i].votes;
  total += candidates[i].votes;
}

calculatePercentage(candidates,total);
display(candidates,total);
}
