In this program, our task is to count the total number of vowels and consonants present in the given string. As we know that, The characters a, e, i, o, u are known as vowels in the English alphabet. Any character other than that is known as the consonant. To solve this problem, First of all, we need to convert every upper-case character in the string to lower-case so that the comparisons can be done with the lower-case vowels only not upper-case vowels, i.e.(A, E, I, O, U). Then, we have to traverse the string using a for or while loop and match each character with all the vowels, i.e., a, e, I, o, u. If the match is found, increase the value of count by 1 otherwise continue with the normal flow of the program. The algorithm of the program is given below.

Algorithm

Define a string.
Convert the string to lower case so that comparisons can be reduced. Else we need to compare with capital (A, E, I, O, U).
If any character in string matches with vowels (a, e, i, o, u ) then increment the vcount by 1.
If any character lies between 'a' and 'z' except vowels, then increment the count for ccount by 1.
Print both the counts.

Complexity

O(n)

Input:

str = "This is a really simple sentence"

Output:

vowels = a, e, i, o, u
consonants = b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z

Python

vcount = 0;  
ccount = 0;  
str = "This is a really simple sentence";  
   
#Converting entire string to lower case to reduce the comparisons  
str = str.lower();  
for i in range(0,len(str)):   
    #Checks whether a character is a vowel  
    if str[i] in ('a',"e","i","o","u"):  
        vcount = vcount + 1;  
    elif (str[i] >= 'a' and str[i] <= 'z'):  
        ccount = ccount + 1;  
print("Total number of vowel and consonant are" );  
print(vcount);  
print(ccount);

Output:

Number of vowels: 10
Number of consonants: 17

C

#include <stdio.h>  
int main()  
{  
    //Counter variable to store the count of vowels and consonant  
   int i, vCount = 0, cCount = 0;  
   char str[] = "This is a really simple sentence";  
   for(i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++){  
       str[i] = tolower(str[i]);  
       if(str[i] == 'a' || str[i] == 'e' || str[i] == 'i' || str[i] == 'o' || str[i] == 'u') {  
           //Increments the vowel counter  
            vCount++;  
        }  
        else if(str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z'){  
            //Increments the consonant counter  
            cCount++;  
        }  
   }  
   printf("Number of vowels : %d\n", vCount);  
   printf("Number of consonant : %d", cCount);  
   return 0;  
}

Output:

Number of vowels: 10
Number of consonants: 17

JAVA

public class CountVowelConsonant {  
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
          
        //Counter variable to store the count of vowels and consonant  
        int vCount = 0, cCount = 0;  
          
        //Declare a string  
        String str = "This is a really simple sentence";  
          
        //Converting entire string to lower case to reduce the comparisons  
        str = str.toLowerCase();  
          
        for(int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {  
            //Checks whether a character is a vowel  
            if(str.charAt(i) == 'a' || str.charAt(i) == 'e' || str.charAt(i) == 'i' || str.charAt(i) == 'o' || str.charAt(i) == 'u') {  
                //Increments the vowel counter  
                vCount++;  
            }  
            //Checks whether a character is a consonant  
            else if(str.charAt(i) >= 'a' && str.charAt(i)<='z') {    
                //Increments the consonant counter  
                cCount++;  
            }  
        }  
        System.out.println("Number of vowels: " + vCount);  
        System.out.println("Number of consonants: " + cCount);  
    }  
}

Output:

Number of vowels: 10
Number of consonants: 17

C#

using System;
