Question

Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the votes received by each candidate. The program should then output each candidate’s name, the votes received by that candidate, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate. Your program should also output the winner of the election. A sample output is:

Candidate Votes Received % of Total Votes

Johnson 5000 25.91

Miller 4000 20.72

Duffy 6000 31.09

Robinson 2500 12.95

Ashtony 1800 9.33

Total 19300

The Winner of the Election is Duffy.

        int total = 0;
        int winner = 0;
        int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
            System.out.print("Enter the last name: ");
            names[i] = in.next();

        System.out.println("\nTotal " + total);
        System.out.println("\nThe Winner of the Election is " + names[winner]);
