C PROGRAMMING

You must prompt for the number of candidates and use malloc to create pointers to the dynamic arrays to hold the candidate names and votes.

HINT: Creating a dynamic array of strings (essentially a 2-dimensional array) will require a pointer to an array of pointers!

----- here is the original problem specification...everything must operate EXACTLY the same ----

Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the number of votes received by each candidate in two arrays.

The program should then output each candidates name, the number of votes received, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate.

Your program should also output the winner of the election.

For Example:

Enter candidate's name and the votes received by the candidate. Johnson 5000 Miller 4000 Duffy 6000 Robinson 2500 Asthony 1800 Candidate Votes Received % of Total Votes --------- -------------- ---------------- Johnson 5000 25.91 Miller 4000 20.73 Duffy 6000 31.09 Robinson 2500 12.95 Asthony 1800 9.33 Total Votes: 19300 The Winner of the Election is: Duffy
