Question

Write a Python program to solve the following problem:

Information is available about the latest municipal election. For each voter, the following data is given:

• voter id number
• age of voter
• the ward number (1, 2, 3 or 4) in which the voter resides
• the name of the person the voter selected for mayor

Input this information and compute and output the following statistics:

• the total number of voters
• the number of people under the age of 25 who voted
• the number of people from Ward 1 who voted for John Smith
• the number of people in Ward 2 who voted

Answer 1

Below is the complete code as per the requirements. It is well explained inside the code using comments.

# total voters
totalVoters = 0
# under 25 voters
under25 = 0
# number of people from Ward 1 who voted for John Smith
ward1JS = 0
# number of people in Ward 2 who voted
ward2 = 0

# read data until user enter 0
while(True):
    print()
    voterID = input('Enter the voter ID number [0 to stop]: ')

    # if user enterd 0, stop reading data
    if(voterID == '0'):
        break
  
    age = int(input('Age of voter: '))
    wardNo = int(input('Ward number [1,2,3,4]: '))
    votedFor = input('Name of person the voter selected for mayor: ');

    # calculate the stats
    totalVoters += 1

    # if voter under 25
    if(age < 25):
        under25 += 1

    # if from Ward 1 and voted for John Smith
    if(wardNo == 1 and votedFor == 'John Smith'):
        ward1JS += 1

    # if from ward 2
    if(wardNo == 2):
        ward2 += 1

# output the satistics
print()
print('Total number of voters:', totalVoters)
print('Number of people under the age of 25 who voted:', under25)
print('Number of people from Ward 1 who voted for John Smith:', ward1JS)
print('Number of people in Ward 2 who voted:',ward2)

Below is the screenshot of code in case there is any issue with indentation:

total voters totalVoters 0 # under 25 voters under25 = 0 #number of people from Ward who voted for John Smith wardlJS=0 number of people in Ward 2 who voted ward2 0 read data until user enter 0 while (True): print () input 'Enter the voter ID number [0 to stopl ') voterID # if user enterd 0, stop reading data if (voterID 0'): break age int (input ('Age of voter: ')) int (input ('Ward number [1,2, 3,4] ')) wardNo votedFor= input 'Name of person the voter selected for mayor: # calculate the stats totalVoters += 1 # if voter under 25 if (age < 25): under25 += 1 # if from Ward 1 and voted for John Smith John Smith'): if (wardNo 1 and votedFor == wardlJS += 1 # if from ward 2 if (wardNo = 2): ward2 = 1

output the satistics print print Total number of voters:', totalVoters) print 'Number of people under the age of 25 who voted:', under25) print 'Number of people from Ward 1 who voted for John Smith:', wardlJS) print 'Number of people in Ward 2 who voted:',ward2)

Below is the sample output:

stop] 587 Enter the voter ID number [0 to Age of voter: 24 Ward number [1,2,3,4]: 1 Name of person the voter selected for mayor: John Miller stopl Enter the voter ID number [0 to 658 Age of voter: 30 Ward number [1,2,3,41: 3 Name of person the voter selected for mayor: John Smith stop] Enter the voter ID number [0 to 357 Age of voter: 20 Ward number [1,2,3,4]: 1 Name of person the voter selected for mayor: John Smith Enter the voter ID number [0 to stop]: 234 Age of voter: 18 Ward number [1,2, 3,4]: 1 Name of person the voter selected for mayor: Maria Smith stop] 357 Enter the voter ID number [0 to Age of voter: 25 Ward number [1,2,3,41: 2 Name of person the voter selected for mayor: Shakira stop] 0 Enter the voter ID number [0 to Total number of voters: 5 Number of people under the age of 25 who voted: 3 Number of people from Ward 1 who voted for John Smith: 1 Number of people in Ward 2 who voted: 1 >>>
