Question

Program must be in C

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 in two different arrays.

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.

Example (Letters and numbers with underscore indicate an input):

Enter candidate's name and the votes received by the candidate.
Johnson 5000
Miller 4000
Duffy 6000
Robinson 2500
Asthony 1800

 Candidate    Votes Received   % of Total Votes
 ---------    --------------   ----------------
   Johnson       5000                 25.91
    Miller       4000                 20.73
     Duffy       6000                 31.09
  Robinson       2500                 12.95
   Asthony       1800                  9.33

Total Votes: 19300
The Winner of the Election is: Duffy

Thanks for the question, here is the C program, with output screenshot

================================================================================

#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

               

                char candidates[5][20]; // to store candidate names

                int votes[5]={0,0,0,0,0}; // to store votes for each candidate

                int totalVotes =0; // total votes of all 5 candidates

                int winnerIndex =0; // index of the candidate with highest vote

                int i ;

               

                printf("Enter candidate\'s name and the votes received by the candidate.\n");

                for(i=0; i<5; i++ ){

                                scanf("%s %d",&candidates[i],&votes[i]);

                                totalVotes +=votes[i]; // add the count in the accumulator

                                if(votes[winnerIndex]<votes[i]){

                                                winnerIndex = i; // run time update the winner index

                                }

                               

                }

// display the results

                printf("%20s %20s %20s\n","Candidate","Votes Received","% of Total Votes");

                printf("%20s %20s %20s\n","---------","--------------","----------------");

                for(i=0; i<5; i++ ){

                                printf("%20s %20d %20.2f\n",candidates[i],votes[i],votes[i]*100.0/totalVotes);

                }

               

                printf("\nTotal Votes: %d",totalVotes);

                printf("\nThe Winner of the Election is: %s",candidates[winnerIndex]);

               

               

}
