CS 1371 HW, MATLAB Programming

Assignment Help:
Function Name: voteCounter

Inputs (1): - (char) filename of votes

Outputs (0): - none

Function Description:

You use the brand new VoteMaster 3000 to tally up votes in the recent

elections of some of your extracurricular organizations. To your dismay,

it only outputs a txt file with a title describing the election and a

list of the candidates'' names, with each line representing a vote for

that candidate.

In addition to suing the VoteMaster 3000 makers for false advertising,

you now have to create a MATLAB function named voteCounter that takes in

the txt file of names and writes another txt file containing the

candidates and their respective votes, in descending order. Furthermore,

the filename of the written txt file should be the first line of the

input txt file.

For example, if the input txt file contained

1371 Head TA Elections

McGraw

Carter

Tahler

Bragg

Carter

your written txt file should be named ''1371 Head TA Elections.txt'' and contain

Carter 2

McGraw 1

Tahler 1

Bragg 1

Notes:

- in the written text file, there is a space between the candidate name

and his/her number of votes

- in the event of a tie, the candidate who appears first in the input

file wins (the sort function should take care of this)

- there should be no empty line at the end of your written file (i.e. the

last line of your written file should be the candidate who received the

least number of votes)

- PLEASE open the txt files in MATLAB to avoid confusion with new lines.
