i want to write a c++(console) programme for a voting system that accepts names of candidates and the votes they had and sort these votes in descending order to show the winner. how do i go about it. thanks.
this is the what i have been able to do so far.
#include <isotream.h>
char names[5][5]; // five names of candidates and 5 constitutes
cout<<"enter the names"<<endl;
for (int m=0; m<5; m++)
{
cin>>names[m];
}
>>i'm around for more clarificaions
Ok, then lets see the code YOU have written.
#include <iostream.h>
char names[5][10];
cout<<"enter names of candidates"<<endl;
for (int m=0; m<5; m++)
{
cin>>names[m];
}
> #include <iostream.h> I disagree: Use #include <iostream> instead
> char names[5][10]; What happens when a name is longer then 10 chars? Use a string instead
> cout<<"enter names of candidates"<<endl; This will result in "undefined identifier 'cout'" error. Use std::cout and std::endl or add 'using namespace std' before main. Speaking of which: where is your int main() ?
> cin>>names[m]; Same problem as with cout and endl. Besides: what happens when a name has a space in it?
