My code has no syntax error however I am not printing the correct output seen on the tester class. I don't know what the issue is.

public class VotingMachine { /** * Create 4 instance variables. Two are of type String and * each stores the name of a political party * Two are of type int and they store the number of votes for * each political party */ private String Republican; private String Democrat; private int RepVotes; private int DemVotes; /** Create a constructor method that has 2 String arguments which are used to initialize the name of each political party Set the number of votes for each party to 0 */ public VotingMachine(String Republican, String Democrat) { this.Republican = Republican; this.Democrat = Democrat; this.RepVotes = 0; this.DemVotes = 0; } /** Create a public method voteParty1() which adds one vote for political party 1 */ public void voteParty1() {

this.DemVotes++;

} /** Create a public method voteParty2() which adds one vote for political party 2 */ public void voteParty2() {

this.RepVotes++;

} /** * Create a public method newElection() that sets the current number of votes for * each political party to 0 */ public void newElection() { this.RepVotes = 0; this.DemVotes = 0; } /** * Create a public method getWinner() that returns a String. * If party 1 has more votes than party 2 then return the string * containing: the name of party 1 followed by " win the election with " * followed by the number of votes for party 1 followed by " Votes" * * If party 2 has more votes than party 1 then return the string * containing: the name of party 2 followed by " win the election with " * followed by the number of votes for party 2 followed by " Votes" * * If party 2 has the same votes as party 1 then return the string * containing: the name of party 1 followed by " and " followed by * the name of party 2 followed by " tied with " followed by the * number of votes for party 1 */ public String getWinner() { if(this.DemVotes > this.RepVotes) { return this.Democrat + " win the election with " + this.DemVotes; } else if(this.RepVotes > this.DemVotes) {

return this.Republican + " win the election with " + this.RepVotes; } else if(this.DemVotes == this.RepVotes) { return this.Democrat + " and " + this.Republican + " tied with " + this.DemVotes; } return Democrat; } }

import java.util.Random;
