In a previous in-class exercise we looked at the problem of entering the votes and determining the results of an election. This project will be based on the same problem, but will use an Object Oriented Design approach.
Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the votes received by each candidate. The program should then output each candidate's name, the votes received by that candidate, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate. Your program should also output the winner of the election.
Candidate Votes Received % of Total Votes
--------- -------------- ----------------
Johnson 5000 25.91%
Miller 4000 20.72%
Duffy 6000 31.09%
Mason 2500 12.95%
Hudson 1800 9.33%
Total of Votes: 19300
The Winner of the Election is Duffy.
Create a class Candidate with
data fields for name and votes and a method for percentage.
Candidate should not do ANY
screen or keyboard I/O, but you will be able to test it using BlueJ and
other classes.
Create a class Election with methods
for each of the operations, and appropriate constructors.
The user interface (including all I/O) will be contained in methods of
Election. main()should
be in a third class ElectionTest,
calling the appropriate methods from Election
in the correct order..
