CSci 1001 Problem set 3. Due Thursday, March 8.

Problem 1: Who wins elections?

Write a program that read names of two candidates as inputs, then asks you to enter the number of votes for each person, and then prints the the name of the winner. If it's a tie, it has to say so.

For instance, the dialog with the program may go like this (using prompts to read the data):

• The program asks "Please enter the name of the first candidate:", you enter "Bart Simpson"
• The program asks "Please enter the name of the second candidate:", you enter "Lisa Simpson"
• The program asks "How many votes did Bart Simposon get?", you enter 10
• The program asks "How many votes did Lisa Simposon get?", you enter 12
• The program prints "The winner is Lisa Simpson!"

If it's a tie, print something like "Bart Simpson and Lisa Simpson got equal number of votes".

Problem 2: A fortune-teller program

Write a program that uses a random number generator to "tell fortune":

• use the function Math.random() to generate a random number between 1 and 5 (inclusive)
• print out the number
• pick one of 5 messages based on the number (i.e. if the number is 1, print the first message, otherwise if it's 2 then print the second one, etc.). You might want to use different colors for different messages (use style = "color: ..." for this)
• Test your program a few times to make sure that it picks each of the possible numbers
