Thread: Program of voting details of individual and total candidates appeared

ok so im making this program. it lets the user enter a number of candidates, then their names, then how many votes each candidate received.

i want the program to out put the total number of votes. how much each candidate received and who the winner is. i also want it to show what percentage of the total votes each candidate received.


i need help with the precentage part and i also need help with the displaying part.

below is a copy of my code . . . . in bold is the output line of code. i need help writing a long of code that has everything that i mentioned above in it.

thanks . . .

 
package test1;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class Test1 {
 
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        int winIND;
        int numCand;        //number of candidates 
        int numVotes;        //number of votes
        int best = 0;        //highest number of votes
        int voteTotal;        //total number of votes
        //int total;        //sum of votes
        String strName;        //name of candidate
        String strNumVote;    //number of votes for each candidate
        String strNumCand;    // get the number of candidates from user
 
 
 
        //get the number of candidates
        strNumCand = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please Enter Number of Candidates: ");
        numCand = Integer.parseInt(strNumCand);
 
 
        int votes[] = new int[numCand];
 
 
 
        for (int i=0; i<numCand; i++) {
            strName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Name of Candidate: ");
 
 
            strNumVote = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter total number of votes: ");
            votes[i] = Integer.parseInt(strNumVote);
 
 
            int total = total + votes[i];
 
            if (votes[i] > best)
            best = votes[i];
 
 
        }
        int total = sumVotes(votes);
        int k = winIndex(votes);
 
 
        [B]JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Total votes: " + total + "/n The winner is: " + strName[k]);[/B]
 
 
    }
 
 
    public static int sumVotes(int a[]) {
        int sum = 0;
        for (int j = 0; j<a.length; j++)
 
        {
 
            sum += a[j];
        }
 
            return sum;
    }
    public static int winIndex(int votes[]) {
 
        int winIND = 0;
            for(int i = 0; i<votes.length; i++)
            {
                if(votes[i]>votes[winIND]);
                    winIND = i;
            }
 
        return winIND;
 
    }
 
}

as of now there is an error on strName[k]
