Overview
The Digital Voting System is a simple command-line application implemented in C that allows users to cast votes in an election. The system uses the cs50.h library, which provides functions for handling user input and other common operations. This application is designed to demonstrate basic concepts of voting systems and is suitable for educational purposes.
- Cast Votes: Allow voters to cast their votes for candidates.
- View Results: Display the results of the election.
To build and run this program, you need:
- A C compiler that supports the C standard (e.g., Clang).
- The
cs50.hlibrary.
If you don't have Clang installed, you can install it via your package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, use:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clangThe cs50.h library is part of the CS50 course from Harvard. You can install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install libcs50-devClone the repository containing the Digital Voting System source code:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/digital-voting-system.git
cd digital-voting-systemTo compile the Digital Voting System, use Clang:
clang -o voting_system voting_system.c -lcs50This command compiles voting_system.c into an executable named voting_system, linking it with the cs50 library.
-
Run the Program
./voting_system
-
Follow the Prompts
- Enter the number of candidates.
- Input the names of the candidates.
- Cast votes for the candidates by entering their names.
- View the results of the election.
Here's a basic example of how to use the application:
./voting_systemYou will be prompted to enter the number of candidates, their names, and then cast your votes. Finally, you can view the results.
