Question

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. The program should then output each candidate’s name (Candidate), the number of votes received (Votes Received), and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate (% of Total Votes). Your program should also output the winner of the election.

Your program must contain at least the following functions:

a function to determine the sum of votes.
a function to output the winner of the election.

So far I have this but it's keeps saying "Searched your code for a specific pattern: cout << "Candidate\s+Votes Received\s+% of Total Votes"' and marking it wrong.

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

string candidates[5];

int votes[5];

float percent[5];

int max,total_votes=0;

cout<<"Enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the number of votes received by each candidate:"<<endl;

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)

{

cin>>candidates[i]>>votes[i];

total_votes+=votes[i];

}

max=0;

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)

{

percent[i]=(votes[i]/(float)total_votes)*100.0;

if(percent[i]>percent[max])

{

max=i;

}

cout <<"Candidate"<<"\t\t"<<"Votes Received"<<"\t\t"<<"% of Total Votes"<<endl;

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)

{

cout<<candidates[i]<<"\t\t\t\t"<<votes[i]<<"\t\t\t\t"<<fixed<<setprecision(2)<<percent[i]<<endl;

}

cout<<"Total"<<"\t\t\t\t"<<total_votes<<endl;

cout << "The Winner of the Election is " <<candidates[max]<<".\n";

return0;

}
