Algorithm To Count Vowels And Consonants In A String

ALGORITHM:

1. Get an input string from the user.
2. Initialize variables “i” to 0, “vowels” to 0, “consonants” to 0, and “length” to 0.
3. Repeat the following until the end of the string is reached:

• a. Increment the value of “length” by 1 to count the current character.
• b. Increment the value of “i” by 1 to move to the next character.

4.Initialize a variable “j” to 0.

5.Repeat the following until “j” is less than “length”:

• a. If the current character at index “j” is a vowel (either lowercase or uppercase), increment the value of “vowels” by 1.
• b. If the current character at index “j” is a space, move on to the next character (by incrementing the value of “j” by 1).
• c. Otherwise, the current character is a consonant, so increment the value of “consonants” by 1 and move on to the next character (by incrementing the value of “j” by 1).

6.Print out the number of vowels and consonants in the string.

DETAILED EXPLANATION:

This algorithm counts the number of vowels and consonants in a given input string.

It first counts the length of the string, and then iterates through each character to check if it is a vowel or a consonant.

If it is a vowel, the “vowels” count is incremented; if it is a space, the algorithm skips that character; and if it is a consonant, the “consonants” count is incremented.

Finally, the counts of vowels and consonants are printed out.
