An election is contested by five candidates. The candidates are numbered 1 to 5 and a voting is done by marking the candidate number in a ballot paper. Write a C++ program to read the ballot and count the votes cast for each candidate using an array variable count. In case, a number read is outside the range 1 to 5 the ballot should be considered as a ‘spoilt ballot’, and the program should also count the number of spoilt ballots.

Implementation of the above problem in C++ language:

#include<iostream.h>

int main()

{

int i,can[5],ballot,count[5];

char ch;

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

{

count[i]=0;

}

do

{

cout<<"\nEnter the ballot number :";

cin>>ballot;

switch(ballot)

{

case 1: count[1]++;

break;

case 2: count[2]++;

break;

case 3: count[3]++;

break;

case 4: count[4]++;

break;

case 5: count[5]++;

break;

default: count[0]++;

}

cout<<" \nWant to vote again\n";

cin>> ch;

}

while(ch=='y');

for(i=1;i<=5;i++)

{

cout<<"\nNo:of votes for candidate "<< i <<"="<<count[i];

}

cout<<"\n Sploit ballots are "<<count[0];

return 0;

}
