Simple solidity contract to vote for a candidate and see the results

an unsigned integer to store the vote count

We will use an array of bytes32 instead to store the list of candidates

deploy the contract to the blockchain. When we deploy the contract,
we will pass an array of candidates who will be contesting in the election
