Program Plan Intro

Vowels and Consonants

Program Plan:

  • • Declare a function named “vowelsCount()” that accepts a string “my_string” as input. Inside the function,
    • ○ Create a counter variable “cnt1” to store the number of vowels in the string.
    • ○ Use the “for” loop to process all the characters in the “my_string” to check for vowels.
    • ○ Inside the “for” loop,
      • ■ Check if the current character “ch” is the alphabet.
      • ■ If so, then check if the current character “ch” is the vowel.
      • ■ If condition is true, then increment the “cnt1” value by “1”.
    • ○ After processing all the characters in the “my_string”, return the counter “cnt1” value.
  • • Declare a function named “consonantsCount()” that accepts a string “my_string” as input. Inside the function,
    • ○ Create a counter variable “cnt2” to store the number of consonants in the “my_string”.
    • ○ Use the “for” loop to process all the characters in the “my_string” to check for consonants.
    • ○ Inside the “for” loop,
      • ■ Check if the current character “ch” is the alphabet.
      • ■ If so, then check if the current character “ch” is not a vowel.
      • ■ If the condition is true, then increment the “cnt2” value by “1”.
    • ○ After processing all the characters in the “my_string”, return the counter “cnt2” value.
  • • Declare a function named “main()”. In the “main()” function,
    • ○ Get a string from the user and store it in the “my_string” variable.
    • ○ Call the function “vowelsCount()” to count the vowels and pass “my_string” as input to the function and store the return count in “count1”.
    • ○ Call the function “consonantsCount()” to count the consonants and pass “my_string” as input to the function and store the return count in “count2”.
    • ○ Display “count1” and “count2” using the “print()” function.
  • • In the last, call the function “main()” to execute the program.
