Question

i need this written in C, not C++ or anything else, just C, thank you.

4. Name this program select.c-This program determines the results of a three-member selection committee that is picking the winner between two finalists. The program reads three strings (all of which are single words that are ten characters or less in length). Your program should print the winner (the string that occurred the most). You can assume that there are no more than two unique names in the input. In fact, all the names might be the same if the selection committee's decision is unanimous. For example, entering BigAl and Aubie and BigAl gives a winner of BigAL

apparently this works, but I can't use this, hope this helps though:

#include<iostream>

#include<string.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

char finalist1[10], finalist2[10], winner[10];

char decision[3][10];

int count1=0,count2=0,i;

cout<<"Enter name of the first finalist: ";

gets(finalist1);

cout<<"\nEnter name of the second finalist: ";

gets(finalist2);

cout<<"\n\nEnter decision of the first committee member: ";

gets(decision[0]);

if(strcmp(decision[0],finalist1)==0 || strcmp(decision[0],finalist2)==0)

{

cout<<"\nEnter decision of the second committee member: ";

gets(decision[1]);

if(strcmp(decision[1],finalist1)==0 || strcmp(decision[1],finalist2)==0)

{

cout<<"\nEnter decision of the third committee member: ";

gets(decision[2]);

if(strcmp(decision[2],finalist1)!=0 && strcmp(decision[2],finalist2)!=0)

{

cout<<"\nInvalid name by third committee member!";

exit(1);

}

}

else

{

cout<<"\nInvalid name by second committee member!";

exit(1);

}

}

else

{

cout<<"\nInvalid name by first committee member!";

exit(1);

}

for(i=0;i<3;i++)

{

if(strcmp(decision[i],finalist1)==0)

count1++;

else

count2++;

}

if(count1>count2)

cout<<endl<<finalist1<<" is the winner!";

else

cout<<endl<<finalist2<<" is the winner!";

return 0;

}

Dear Student,

here i have converted the given C++ into C program as per the requirement.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Please note that the below program has been tested on ubuntu 16.04 system and compiled under gcc compiler. This code will also work on other IDE's.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Program:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include<stdio.h>

#include<string.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

int main()

{

char finalist1[10], finalist2[10], winner[10];

char decision[3][10];

int count1=0,count2=0,i;

printf("Enter name of the first finalist: ");

gets(finalist1);

printf("\nEnter name of the second finalist: ");

gets(finalist2);

printf("\n\nEnter decision of the first committee member: ");

gets(decision[0]);

if(strcmp(decision[0],finalist1)==0 || strcmp(decision[0],finalist2)==0)

{

printf("\nEnter decision of the second committee member: ");

gets(decision[1]);

if(strcmp(decision[1],finalist1)==0 || strcmp(decision[1],finalist2)==0)

{

printf("\nEnter decision of the third committee member: ");

gets(decision[2]);

if(strcmp(decision[2],finalist1)!=0 && strcmp(decision[2],finalist2)!=0)

{

printf("\nInvalid name by third committee member!");

exit(1);

}

}

else

{

printf("\nInvalid name by second committee member!");

exit(1);

}

}

else

{

printf("\nInvalid name by first committee member!");

exit(1);

}

for(i=0;i<3;i++)

{

if(strcmp(decision[i],finalist1)==0)

count1++;

else

count2++;

}

if(count1>count2)

printf("%s is the winner.\n", finalist1);

else

printf("%s is the winner.\n", finalist2);

return 0;

}

here i have attached a sample run of the program as a screen shot...

Output:
