I created a class in Java to calculate allocation of seats in a paralament with Sainte-Laguë method.
import java.util.*;
/**
* Method for is allocating seats proportionally for representative assemblies with party list
* voting systems. Or to calculate an even percentage number given some proportional factor
*
* In Swedish this is called "Uddatalsmetoden"
*
* @author Lennart Schedin
*
* @param <T> The type of object base
*/
public class SainteLagueMethod<T> {
private static class SainteLagueObject<T> {
private T party;
private double votes;
private int mandates;
SainteLagueObject(T party, double votes) {
this.party = party;
this.votes = votes;
this.mandates = 0;
}
private double getCompareNumer() {
return votes / (2 * mandates + 1);
}
}
public Map<T, Integer> calculateMandate(Map<T, Integer> partiesVotes, int mandates) {
List<SainteLagueObject<T>> objectList = new ArrayList<SainteLagueObject<T>>();
for (T party : partiesVotes.keySet()) {
Integer votes = partiesVotes.get(party);
objectList.add(new SainteLagueObject<T>(party, votes));
}
return distributeMandates(objectList, mandates);
}
private Map<T, Integer> distributeMandates(List<SainteLagueObject<T>> objectList, int mandates) {
while (mandates > 0) {
SainteLagueObject<T> winner = findOneWinner(objectList);
winner.mandates = winner.mandates + 1;
mandates--;
}
Map<T, Integer> resultList = new HashMap<T, Integer>();
for (SainteLagueObject<T> object : objectList) {
resultList.put(object.party, object.mandates);
}
return resultList;
}
private SainteLagueObject<T> findOneWinner(List<SainteLagueObject<T>> objectList) {
SainteLagueObject<T> winner = null;
for (SainteLagueObject<T> current : objectList) {
if (winner == null) {
winner = current;
}
if (current.getCompareNumer() > winner.getCompareNumer()) {
winner = current;
}
}
return winner;
}
}
