To check the name of the candidate in the 1st preferred coloumn only

Remember,

preferences[i][j];

Is simply,

preferences[row][coloumn];

So, For first preference only

preferences[changing_row][1st_coloumn];

Inside this cell is just a number, Use it to match the name of the candidate.

vote

This function inputs a string a search for the names in the table of candidates, it returns true once the name has been founded or matched i.e == 0

But how?

Use for-loop to iterate through the candidate_count and check the name of the candidate by using strcmp declared in string.h

if (strcmp(candidate[i].names, name) == 0)
{

return true;

}

In this way iterate through every Candidate and try to match the name if yes then return true else return false

If I helped you be sure to tick the answer to keep other smiling too 😃
