The citizens of the nation Atlantis will soon be taking to the polls to elect their next government. 7 parties (named using the first 7 letters of the alphabet A-G), are participating in the election in 25 states. You have just been commissioned by the parliament, to create software for analyzing the results for the upcoming election. A party wins a state if it obtains the most votes for that state. A party wins the election, if it wins in the most states.

You have decided to make your software reusable for any number of states or parties.

When run, your program should

1. Read the election results from a text file – votes.txt, and store the results by state and party in a 2D array. The specifications for the input file are given below.

2. Manipulate the array created in 1) to obtain the winner of each state

3. Store the winner for each state in a 1D array of characters

4. Print out the winning party for each state

5. Use the array created in 3), to compute the overall winning party for the election

6. Print out the number of states won by each party

7. Print out the winner of the election

Input Specification

1.The first line of the input file is an integer p indicating the number of parties

2. The second line is an integer s indicating the number of states

3. The following p lines of the file will each contain s integers
