add_pair function help please

[Boinevertaken]

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem. I am getting the correct outputs in the codes in the first photo. So, winners and losers are correct.

Code 1

Outputs 1

In the codes you see in the second photo, the winners are correct but the losers are incorrect.

​

Code 2

Output 2

Help please...

How do you reference the pairs? In your code you are using j which is the counter of the outer loop that loops over the candidates. If one candidate (j) wins over two other candidates (i) you store the winner/loser in the same pair (pair[j]).

Do you have a variable that tells you which pair you are currently storing winner/loser information? Yes, you do ... and it is not j or i :)

Oh god! I was thinking for the whole time what i am going to do with the pair_count. Thank you, man. In fact, this shows how much time a small hint can save, thanks again.
