After finishing plurality, it fails check50. It returns "print_winner function did not print winner of election".
In print_winner function I did the following
void print_winner(void)
{
//create a pivot for bubble sorting
candidate temp[1];
//bubble sorting from bigger to smaller, winner is first on the list
for (int a=0; a < candidate_count - 1; a++)
{
for (int b=0; b < candidate_count - a - 1; b++)
{
if (candidates[b].votes < candidates[b+1].votes)
{
temp[0].name = candidates[b].name;
temp[0].votes = candidates[b].votes;
candidates[b].name = candidates[b+1].name;
candidates[b].votes = candidates[b+1].votes;
candidates[b+1].name = temp[0].name;
candidates[b+1].votes = temp[0].votes;
}
}
}
int total=1;
//compares the top of the list with the rest of the the values to search for a tie.
for (int c=1; c < candidate_count; c++)
{
if (candidates[0].votes == candidates[c].votes)
{
total++;
}
}
//create an array with the final number of the winners
string winners[total];
//migrate the winners to the variable winners
for (int i=0; i<total; i++)
{
winners[i]=candidates[i].name;
}
//print the winners
for (int i=0; i<total; i++)
{
printf ("%s \n", winners[i]);
}
return;
It works when I check it manually, but somehow check50 doesn't recognize it. Any idea where I went wrong?
