  • Output: Print the total votes cast as well as the winner of the election

Example Output

Below is an example program output. User input is indicated in <> (angle brackets).

  Welcome to my election voting program.

  Vote #6: <Goofy>
  Vote #7: <Minnie Mouse>
  Vote #8: <Minnie Mouse>
  Vote #9: <Minnie Mouse>
  Vote #10: <Minnie Mouse>

  ELECTION RESULTS....

  Vote Summary:
  Goofy - 3 vote(s)
  Minnie Mouse - 6 vote(s)
  Donald Duck - 1 vote(s)

  WINNER: Minnie Mouse!

Optional Enhancements

Some of these enhancements are better solved after having knowledge from lesson 11, so you can try some and then come back and do others after lesson 11.

  • Handle ties for a winner appropriately
  • Handle grammar of vote summary saying vote or votes appropriately
  • Handle write in votes
  • Consider how to handle more than 10 votes
  • Consider how to handle more than 3 candidates
  • Refactor your code so that your code is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
