Write a C program for electing a candidate in Elections by calling functions using Switch case
Problem
How to cast vote, count, and display the votes for each candidate that participates in elections using C language?
Solution
Let’s consider three persons who participated in elections. Here we need to write a code for the following −
Cast vote − Selecting a candidate by pressing the cast vote
Find vote count − Finding the total number of votes each candidate gains declaring the winner.
Example
All these operations are performed by calling each function using Switch case −
#include<stdio.h>
#define CANDIDATE_COUNT
#define CANDIDATE1 "ABC"
#define CANDIDATE2 "XYZ"
#define CANDIDATE3 "PQR"
int votescount1=0, votescount2=0, votescount3=0;
void castvote(){
int choice;
printf("
### Please choose your Candidate ####
");
printf("
1. %s", CANDIDATE1);
printf("
2. %s", CANDIDATE2);
printf("
3. %s", CANDIDATE3);
printf("
4. %s", “None of These");
printf("
Input your choice (1 - 4) : “);
scanf("%d",&choice);
switch(choice){
case 1: votescount1++; break;
case 2: votescount2++; break;
case 3: votescount3++; break;
default: printf("
Error: Wrong Choice !! Please retry");
//hold the screen
getchar();
}
printf(“
thanks for vote !!");
}
void votesCount(){
printf("
##### Voting Statics ####");
printf("
%s - %d ", CANDIDATE1, votescount1);
printf("
%s - %d ", CANDIDATE2, votescount2);
printf("
%s - %d ", CANDIDATE3, votescount3);
}
int main(){
int i;
int choice;
do{
printf("
###### Welcome to Election/Voting 2019 #####");
printf("
1. Cast the Vote");
printf("
2. Find Vote Count");
printf("
0. Exit");
printf("
Please enter your choice : ");
scanf("%d", &choice);
switch(choice){
case 1: castvote();break;
case 2: votesCount();break;
default: printf("
Error: Invalid Choice");
}
}while(choice!=0);
//hold the screen
getchar();
return 0;
}Output
