CS371p

Write a program, ideally with a partner, to solve Voting [C++20 (g++ 14.2.0, 2 sec, 512 MB, source 50 KB)] with an optimization that when reassigning the ballots of a loser, you do not iterate over all the ballots.
You must do at least one of your projects with a partner.
You may not use new, delete, malloc() or free(). You may use the STL.

create a private code repo (https://gitlab.com/GitLab-ID/cs371p-voting/)
enable issues here: Settings -> General -> Visibility, project features, permissions -> Issues
create the following issue labels here: Manage -> Labels (labels are case sensitive):
- correctness (Crimson)
- build_files (Blue-gray)
- issues (Dark coral)
- unit_tests (Green-cyan)
- acceptance_tests (Dark sea green)
- continuous_integration (Carrot orange)
- code (Titanium Yellow)
- documentation (Lavender)
- ai_report (Deep violet)
import the issues: Issues -> Import issues -> Import CSV
close all issues
add and close new issues as you debug and optimize your solution
provide your GitLab URL on the Canvas assignment

Summary of AI Interactions
- List the tools used (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.).
- Debugging help (error explanation, bug location, runtime issue)
- Conceptual clarification (CS concept, syntax, algorithm idea)
- Code improvement (style, efficiency, readability, testing)
- Alternative approaches (asking “is there a simpler way?”)
- Other (describe)
Reflection on Use
- What specific improvements to your code or understanding came from this AI interaction?
- How did you decide what to keep or ignore from the AI’s suggestions?
- Did the AI ever produce an incorrect or misleading suggestion? How did you detect that?
Evidence of Independent Work
- Paste a before-and-after snippet (3–5 lines max) showing where you changed your own code in response to AI guidance.
- In 2–3 sentences, explain what you learned by making this change.
Integrity Statement
- "I confirm that the AI was used only as a helper (explainer, debugger, reviewer) and not as a code generator. All code submitted is my own work."
