Answer 1

Answer:

/*C program to count vowels and consonants in a string using pointer.*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

char str[100];

char *ptr;

int cntV,cntC;

printf("Enter a string: ");

gets(str);

//assign address of str to ptr

ptr=str;

cntV=cntC=0;

while(*ptr!='\0')

{

if(*ptr=='A' ||*ptr=='E' ||*ptr=='I' ||*ptr=='O' ||*ptr=='U' ||*ptr=='a' ||*ptr=='e' ||*ptr=='i' ||*ptr=='o' ||*ptr=='u')

cntV++;

else

cntC++;

//increase the pointer, to point next character

ptr++;

}

printf("Total number of VOWELS: %d, CONSONANT: %d\n",cntV,cntC);

return 0;

}
