For some reason, this code gives the correct outputs yet the check50 says
:) plurality.c exists
:) plurality compiles
:) vote returns true when given name of first candidate
:) vote returns true when given name of middle candidate
:) vote returns true when given name of last candidate
:) vote returns false when given name of invalid candidate
:) vote produces correct counts when all votes are zero
:) vote produces correct counts after some have already voted
:) vote leaves vote counts unchanged when voting for invalid candidate
:) print_winner identifies Alice as winner of election
:) print_winner identifies Bob as winner of election
:) print_winner identifies Charlie as winner of election
:( print_winner prints multiple winners in case of tie
print_winner function did not print both winners of election
:( print_winner prints all names when all candidates are tied
print_winner function did not print all three winners of election
even when I personally test it and am able to get these outputs to occur. A thing that might be of significance was that I was receiving segmentation faults while trying to work through previous versions of my code. However, that isn't happening anymore so I am unsure what is the problem.
