If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Program Optimization
No i must have misunderstood you
1 would beat all of them
followed by 2
the position from the left determines their place
the first from the left is the first place winner for each voter
Re: Program Optimization
So the count of the number of candidates that are beaten is not important?
The fact that candidate 1 has beaten 7 other candidates is not useful.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Program Optimization
I cant think of a reason to use it.
Re: Program Optimization
Is it important which candidate is beaten?
I don't understand the rules.
You said:
1 is the winner because he beats 0 twice and 2 twice.
Is it important who is beaten?

Re: Program Optimization
so your votes in your file:
0 1 2
1 0 2
2 1 0
would fill a table like the following:
Voters In Order | 1stVote | 2ndVote | 3rdVote
First Voter's Card | cand.0 | cand.1 | cand.2
2nd Voter's Card | cand.1 | cand.0 | cand.2
3rd Voter's Card | cand.2 | cand.1 | cand.0
?
Re: Program Optimization
It looks like you're suppose to implement something similar to Instant runoff voting. However, I can't tell how you're handling tie-breakers.
