Write a function vote() that takes as a parameter a list of names of candidates up for election and repeatedly asks the user to enter a name of one of the candidates. When the user enters the empty string, the function prints for every name on the ballot the number of votes that the candidate received. The candidates and vote totals can be printed in any order as long as all of the information is presented.If the user types a name that cannot be found in the list of candidates, the vote is recorded for the 'Unknown' candidate.

Capitalization shouldn't matter so that a candidate's name appearing in all uppercase, all lowercase, or in mixed case should record a vote for the associated person. When the user types a blank name, then the function should stop and report the vote totals. The vote totals should be reported using correct grammar, meaning using was/were and the singular or plural of vote appropriately. The following shows a sample run of the vote() function. Please note that your function must work on all valid examples, not just the ones provided below:

Can someone solve this without the use of [i.lower() for i in candidate_list] and for k,v in vote_count.items():because my instructor says that it's not allowed because these loops weren't taught to us yet. Also, indent your code.

This is my original code:

def vote(candidate_list): 'insert a list of names' vote_count={} #set an empty dictionary vote_count['unknown']=0 #Have a counter for unknown for name in candidate_list: #Each name will start at zero vote_count[name]=0 t_list=vote_count.keys() t_list=[i.lower() for i in candidate_list] while True: name = input("Enter a vote: ") #Ask for the name if name=="": #if it's blank then stop break if name.lower() not in t_list: #Count towards that are not in dictionary vote_count['unknown']+=1 else: for cand_name in candidate_list: #increase the number if matches if name.lower() == cand_name.lower(): vote_count[cand_name]+=1 for k,v in vote_count.items(): #arrange in a way that it orgnaize on how many got the votes if v == 1: print("There was " + str(v) +" votes for "+ k+".") if v > 1: print("There were " + str(v) +" votes for "+ k+".") if v == 0: print("There were " + str(v) +" votes for "+ k+".")
