alot of people give me either partial answers, or incorrect skeleton. PLEASE YOU CAN'T CHANGE WHAT IS THERE, YOU CAN ONLY ADD.

void readFile(Candidate candidates[]) – reads the elections.txt file, fills the candidates[] array. Hint: use substr() and find() functions. Set Score to 0.

void List(Candidate candidates[]) – prints the array of Candidate structs. One candidate per one line, include all fields. Use setw() to display nice looking list.

void displayCandidate(Candidate candidates[]) – prints the complete information about the candidate

.
Candidate First(Candidate candidates[]) – returns single struct element: candidate with highest score

Candidate Last(Candidate candidates[]) – returns single struct element: candidate with lowest score

void Votes(Candidate candidates[]) – function sorts the candidates[] array by number of votes, the order in candidates[] array is replaced

void Scores(Candidate candidates[]) – calculates the percentage score for each candidate. Use the following formula: ??????=(CandidateVotes)/(sum of votes)*100%

Correct line for the reference: F=John,L=Smith,V=3342

The line errors that your program needs to detect, are as follows:

incorrect token / separator, example in line 5: F=Steven,L=JohnV=4429 --- (comma missing) – lines with this error need to be ignored

space in token, example in line 3: F=Hillary,X=Clinton, V=1622 --- lines with this error need to be read, error fixed, data included in your dataset

empty line, example in line 6 – empty lines need to be ignored

A 42-year-old patient with history of ulcerative colitis (UC) and anemia, went to the ED. While at the emergency room, he complaints of abdominal pain/swelling alongside blood in her stool which is watery which has been going on for some days now. Vital signs are (BP) of 90/56, heart rate (HR) 115 bpm, respiratory rate (RR) of 32, temperature of 101.9°F, oxygen saturation (O2 sat.) of 98% on room air, and a pain of 8/10 (using the verbal numeric pain scale) located in his left lower abdominal quadrant that is sharp, constant, and aggravated by movement. He states, “my stomach hurts so much I can barely take the pain”. he claims that he has been taking extra-strength Advil (ibuprofen 400mg) for the pain. His vitals were reassessed after 20 minutes showing a decrease in BP to 85/47, HR 130, RR 29, oral temperature of 101.9°C, O2 sat. 96%, and pain still at 9/10.

Background

You have just begun a new job as President of Unlimited Combines (UC), a Canadian farm

equipment manufacturer whose flagship product utilizes new technology to increase the

productivity of grain harvesting. UC’s equipment allows farmers and commercial grain-growing

operations to harvest wheat, barley and similar cereal crops faster and with less waste than any

other equipment manufacturer.

You are surprised to find that while UC’s products sell very well in the domestic market, they

appear to be a well-kept secret around the world. Recognizing that the world market offers an

excellent growth opportunity, you hire Patricia Paget, a new business school graduate, as your

export manager, and assign her the responsibility to create and implement an international

business plan and begin developing new global business opportunities for Unlimited Combines.

The International Business Plan

Patricia’s first task is to generate an international business plan. She develops a table of contents

making sure to mention issues of the new era in global business, the global supply chain,

technology, culture and ethics. Also addressed are international market research, entry and

maintenance, trade finance, global logistics and distribution, and legal issues and compliance.

When her plan is complete, Patricia emails a form letter to more than 130 Canadian trade offices

around the world in order to confirm which markets are the most suitable. Within two weeks, she

receives responses from more than sixty of the offices, with contact information for a total of more

than four hundred potential business partners. However, she is puzzled as to why some of the

companies appear to have no relationship with farm equipment. She receives no reply from the

other seventy or so offices.

In order to qualify the potential distribution channels, she sends an English form letter out to the

four hundred potential business partners, with a questionnaire for them to fill out. After three

weeks, she had received replies from only 12 of them. Patricia is becoming frustrated that she

has now spent over a month on trying to find potential distributors for the products, with few

results.

One of the positive results Patricia has received is from a Japanese manufacturer of farm

equipment. She arranges for a business trip to Japan to meet with them. Upon arrival, she

encounters several problems. The company is located several hundred kilometers from the

nearest large city, and by sheer luck she finds an English-speaking person to help her with a train

connection. When she arrives, she is given several attractive gifts, but has brought none with

her—just brochures. She quickly finds that nobody at the company speaks English, although the

written communications had been in English, and she only brought English language brochures.

The company eventually brings someone in to help with translations. However, this only highlights

a major problem: the company thought the UC combine would work on rice, which was incorrect.

Rice turns out to be the main crop grown in Japan, but few cereal crops are grown because they

are easily imported at low cost. Only a small percentage of Japan’s land is suitable for farming,

so farmers focus on higher-value produce.

Because Patricia has arranged for no other meetings during her trip to Japan, she is determined

to make this one a success. They discuss many topics as she tries to forge a relationship with the

company, and it turns out that the Japanese company exports its equipment around the world

and might consider a strategic alliance with UC, whereby it would leverage its distribution network

to sell UC’s products.

One troublesome issue is financing. She is surprised to find the Japanese company prefers to

arrange for long-term payment terms through trade financing, but she insists that they work on a

cash in advance basis. She knows from what she has heard that international trade is risky, and

that payment in advance would eliminate the risk of non-payment.

Another issue is technical support. The Japanese suggest that they would like to have technical

training as part of a legal contract they would sign, if they decide to work together. Patricia knows

that they might reverse engineer UC’s product, and does not want to be constrained by a

contractual or legal obligation, so is not enthusiastic about this.

Marketing support also presents a problem. The Japanese want to translate her brochure into

other languages at their own expense, and ask if she would email the document to them so they

could do the translation. However, she says she cannot, for copyright reasons, but that they can

use the brochure she is going to leave them if they don’t tell anyone.

Another feature of “marketing support”, it turns out, is that it is occasionally necessary for them to

pay bribes to government officials in some of their non-Japanese markets. They matter-of-factly

say this is just a cost of doing business in some countries, and ask if UC will be able to contribute

to paying these “commissions”.

Finally, the Japanese want Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) pricing, but Patricia insists on Ex

Works (EXW) terms. This will also help her to minimize risk and keep costs down, and let the

Japanese pay the cost of freight. She has enough to do, after all, and does not want to get involved

with the complexities of global logistics.

As Patricia leaves the meeting, pleasantries are exchanged. When she asks if they think there is

a chance to do business together, she receives a smile from the general manager, who says, “We

will try.”

When Patricia returns, you ask her how the trip went. She provides the details outlined above,

and replies that although it went reasonably well, the Japanese were fairly demanding and difficult

to do business with. During the next month, after repeated and increasingly demanding attempts

to extract an agreement to purchase from the Japanese company, she finally receives a simple

reply saying, “We are sorry, but we prefer to do business with Unlimited Combines at some time

in the future.”
