c. Your function should declare that candidate that had at least 50%+1 of the valid votes cast as winner.

d. Explain the logic behind the code

Answer 1

a) Function is a block of code that performs a specific task to achieve a particular result.

b)void Greatest(string f, string s, int first, int second, int total){
	int first_candidate = first * 100 / total;
	int second_candidate =  second * 100 / total;
	
	if(second_candidate>50){
		cout<<"The winner is "<<s<<endl;
	}
	else if(first_candidate>50){
		cout<<"The winner is "<<s<<endl;
	}
	else{
		cout<<"No winner "<<endl;
	}
}

The logic behind the code is the use of decision statements to find the winner.
