Write a program that prompts the user to enter 10 inputs, each containing a number showing the margin of the leading candidate in each of the 10 counties of a given state, as well as a letter which is the first letter of the last name of the leading candidate (i.e., B for Mr. Brown, T for Mr. Taylor). For example, a input showing a 5000 votes margin for Mr. Brown is like 5000B . Your program is to aggregate votes across the entire state and project the winner. Based on estimates, a candidate is projected as winner if he can build a total margin of at least 50000 votes more than his opponent. If no candidate has built such margin, just tell the user that it is too early to call.
