Answer to Question #336335 in C++ for Hanna

Question

Use Pointer

Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of a number of candidates in a local election and the

number of votes received by each candidate. The program should then output each candidate’s name, the number of

votes received, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate. Your program should also output the

winner of the election. A sample output is:

Number of Candidates: 5

Candidate Votes recieve %of total vote

Johnson 5000 25.91

Miller 4000 20.73

Duffy 6000 31.09

Robinson 2500 12.95

Ashtony 1800 9.33

Total 19300

The winner of the election is Duffy!!

        cin>>names[i];
        cout<<"Enter the number of votes that "<<names[i]<<" received.\n";
        cin>>votes[i];
        total += votes[i];
