The Nobel peace prize is awarded to persons who excel in various fields of endeavor. Currently only a handful of panel members determine and choose people who qualify for a particular award based on nomination from a wide range of disciplines’. This process of selecting the winners for the various prices have been criticized as being biased especially from the side of the panel members. The committee of experts at a general council meeting decided to automate the selection process. On a trial bases, you have been engaged to develop a java system that will automatically select a nominee as the winner of the award in two categories (peace and science). Your program should have the following functionalities. a) You are to define a class named Nobel_Award. Your class must have two functions, one of the functions should be named Award_Category, and the other function should be named Award_Winner. Your Award_Category must have a string parameter list and return the string when called. Your Award_Winner function must contain two parameters, one should be a string called name and the other an integer called votes. When called (Award_Winner) it should return the name and highest votes as the winner for a particular category.  b) For each category, your program should request for three different names of nominee and number of votes for each nominee. Your function in “a” above should select the name of the nominee with the highest number of votes as the winner for that category. If there is a tie, in the number of votes, then all the nominee should be declared as winners.

The Nobel peace prize is awarded to persons who excel in various fields of
endeavor. Currently only a handful of panel members determine and choose people who qualify for a particular award based on nomination from a wide range of disciplines’. This process of selecting the winners for the various prices have been criticized as being biased especially from the side of the panel members. The committee of experts at a general council meeting decided to automate the selection process. On a trial bases, you have been engaged to develop a java system that will automatically select a nominee as the winner of the award in two categories (peace and science). Your program should have the following functionalities.


a) You are to define a class named Nobel_Award. Your class must have two
functions, one of the functions should be named Award_Category, and
the other function should be named Award_Winner. Your
Award_Category must have a string parameter list and return the string
when called. Your Award_Winner function must contain two parameters,
one should be a string called name and the other an integer called votes.
When called (Award_Winner) it should return the name and highest votes
as the winner for a particular category. 


b) For each category, your program should request for three different names of nominee and number of votes for each nominee. Your function in “a” above should select the name of the nominee with the highest number of votes as the winner for that category. If there is a tie, in the number of
votes, then all the nominee should be declared as winners.


c) Critically explain the logic behind your code to student from another
department.
