Do you know how to amend the program you have wriiten so that it keeps track of the position of the largest vote as the votes for each candidate are entered. Thankyou...

i take it you guys are on the M150 OU course
i am still suck on the fibonacci sequence one though any ideas
Just something to think about really
i tried the Fibonnaci one, i run it in firefox and it did not come up with any errors in the error console, but i still got no output. Anyways, i just sent it away like that, maybe i get some marks for trying.
This was my code i sent in.
