Question

Vowels and consonants

Write a program that reads a word and prints the number of vowels and consonants in the

word. For this exercise assume that ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’, and ‘y’ are vowels. For

example, if the user enters the input “Harry”, the program should print “The word

contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants”.

In c++

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        //declaring the char array
        char arr[100];
        cout<<"Enter the word : ";
        //taking the word input
        cin>>arr;
        int cnst,vow,i;
        cnst=vow=i=0;
        //traversing the array till it founds the end end alphabet of the word
        while(arr[i]!='\0')
        {
                //checking for vowels
                if(arr[i]=='a' || arr[i]=='e' || arr[i]=='i' || arr[i]=='o' || arr[i]=='u' || arr[i]=='y')
                {
                        vow++;
                }
                //checking for capital letter vowels
                else if(arr[i]=='A' || arr[i]=='E' || arr[i]=='I' || arr[i]=='O' || arr[i]=='U' || arr[i]=='Y')
                {
                        vow++;
                }
                //else counting consonants
                else
                {
                        cnst++;
                }
                i++;
        }
        
        cout<<"The word contains "<<vow<<" vowels"<<" and "<<cnst<<" consonants.";
        
        return 0;
}

                System.out.print("Enter the word : ");
                //taking the input
