Magic election stealing code!

[ZombieNixon]

enum
{
CANDIDATE_REPUB,
CANDIDATE_DEM
};

void Count(void)
{
long votes, demVotes, repVotes;
Byte vote;

vote = getch();

if (vote == CANDIDATE_DEM) demVotes++;
if (vote == CANDIDATE_REPUB) repVotes++;

votes = demVotes+repVotes;

if (demVotes > repVotes)
demVotes = votes * .49;
repVotes = votes *.51;

printf("We got a MAN-date!!!!!\n");
}

Should I run for public office now (as a Republican, of course)?

1. C++?

2. C

C++ would be mostly the same, except the last line would look something like

cout<< "We got a MAN-date!!!" << nl;

3. That's good.

4. WARNING: Line 10 (var "vote" is not initialized before being used)

:evil grin:

8. Isn't it?

Byte vote; Bigger problem is the CANDIDIATE_DEM, but that could be a subtle trick, eh? How about:

if (vote == CANDIDATE_DEM) demVotes++;
if (vote = CANDIDATE_REPUB) repVotes++;

9. Damn you for catching my spelling errors!

Truth is, code to steal votes is really very simple. What I have above is probably at least two-thirds of all you would need.

5. Line 16: Error: case statements missing from switch

Should be

switch (vote)
{
case CANDIDATE_DEM:
demVotes++;
break;
case CANDIDATE_REPUB:
repVotes++;
break;
default:
trash(vote); // this is a two-party system, dammit! Who cares what you think?
}

(Or you could just drop the switch)

6. Whoops! Better lose the switch.

10. Casino code?

void MakeTheSuckerPay(int myCash)
{
int myBet;

printf("Sorry, you lose.");
myCash -= myBet;

printf("Play again? (Y/N)")

switch(getch())
{
case 'Y':
case 'N':
default:
MakeTheSuckerPay();
break;
}
}
