0C code to Check a Character is a Vowel or Consonant
Character is a vowel or consonant in C
Here, in this section we will discuss the program to check whether the character is a vowel or consonant in C.
Working:-
- Take character input from the user
- Check if Input is a lowercase of upper case vowel
- If yes then print vowel
- If not then print consonant
- Can also additional check if it’s a non-character item
We will discuss various methods to do the same thing.
Method 1
Method 1
Run
// C Program to check whether alphabet is vowel or consonant
#include <stdio.h>
// main function
int main()
{
char c='F';
//checking for vowels
if(c=='a'||c=='e'||c=='i'||c=='o'||c=='u'||
c=='A'||c=='E'||c=='I'||c=='O'||c=='U')
{
printf("%c is a vowel", c); // condition true input is vowel
}
else
{
printf("%c is a consonant", c); // condition true input is consonant
}
return 0;
}
Output
F is a consonant
Method 2
The issue with the previous method was that we were not checking if the user entered a non-alphabet character like ‘3’ or ‘%’ etc. We will see an alternate approach and also handle this non-alphabet case.Method 2 (Code in C)
Run
#include <stdio.h>
int isLowercaseVowel(int c){
// returns 1 if char matches any of below
return (c == 'a' || c == 'e' || c == 'i' || c == 'o' || c == 'u');
}
int isUppercaseVowel(int c){
// returns 1 if char matches any of below
return (c == 'A' || c == 'E' || c == 'I' || c == 'O' || c == 'U');
}
int main() {
char c='J';
// show error message if c is not an alphabet
if (isLowercaseVowel(c) || isUppercaseVowel(c))
printf("%c is a vowel", c);
else
printf("%c is a consonant", c);
return 0;
}
Output
J is a consonant
Method 3
The above method has two separate functions of upper case vowels and lowercase vowels we can reduce that down to one single method using an inbuilt function that converts any lowercase case charter to uppercase.Method 2 (Code in C)
Run
#include <stdio.h>
// single function for both uppercase and lowercase
int isVowel(int c){
// converts to uppercase if it wasn't already
c = toupper(c);
// returns true if char matches any of below
return (c == 'A' || c == 'E' || c == 'I' || c == 'O' || c == 'U');
}
int main() {
char c='i';
// show error message if c is not an alphabet
if (isVowel(c))
printf("%c is a vowel", c);
else
printf("%c is a consonant", c);
return 0;
}
Output
i is a vowel

#include
int main()
{
char c;
printf(“Enter an alphabet to check wheather it is vowel or consonant:”);
scanf(“%c”,&c);
if(c==’a’||c==’A’||c==’e’||c==’E’||c==’i’||c==’I’||c==’o’||c==’O’||c==’u’||c==’U’)

I think this should be the code
#include
int main()
{
char c,lower, upper;
printf(“Enter any character : “);
scanf(“%c”,&c);
//To find the corrector is lowercase vowel
lower=(c==’a’||c==’e’||c==’i’||c==’o’||c==’u’);
//To find the character is Upper case vowel
upper=(c==’A’||c==’E’||c==’I’||c==’O’||c==’U’);
if(lower||upper)
printf(“It is a vowel”);
//to check character is alphabet or not
else if(c>=’z’ || c<='A')
printf("It is not a alphabet");
else
printf("It is a consonant");
return 0;
}
I think this should be the code
#include
int main()
{
char c,lower,upper;
printf(“Enter any character : “);

if((c>=’a’&&c=’A’&&c<='Z'))
{

Right Solution
else if((c =’z’ )|| (c>=’A’ && c <= 'Z'))
printf(" is not A Alphabet \n ");
else if((c =’z’ )|| (c>=’A’ && c <= 'Z'))
printf(" is not A Alphabet \n ");
#include
int main()
{
char c;
printf(“enter the alphabet:”);
scanf(“%c”,&c);
if(c==’a’ || c==’e’ || c==’i’ || c==’o’ || c==’u’ || c==’A’ || c==’E’ || c==’I’ || c==’O’ || c==’U’)
{
printf(“given alphabet is vowel”);
}
else
{
printf(“given alphabet is consonent”);
}
}
if (isLowerVowel || isUpperVowel)
printf(“%c is a vowel”, c);
//to check character is alphabet or not
else if((c >= ‘a’|| c>=’A’) &&( c <= 'z' || c <= 'Z'))
printf("%c is a consonant",c);
else
printf("%c is not a alphabet", c);
else if((ch>=’a’ && ch=’A’ && ch<='Z'))
{
printf("is consonant");
#include
int main()
{
int lower,upper;
char ch;
printf(“ente the character”);
scanf(“%c”,&ch);
lower=(ch==’a’|| ch==’e’|| ch==’i’ || ch==’o’ || ch==’u’);
upper=(ch==’A’|| ch==’E’|| ch==’I’ || ch==’O’ || ch==’U’);
if(lower || upper)
{
printf(“is vowel”);
}
else if((ch>=’a’ && ch=’A’ && ch<='Z'))
{
printf("is consonant");
}
else
{
printf("not an alphabet");
}
return 0;
}
THIS IS BETTER
#include
int main()
{
int lower,upper;
char ch;
printf(“ente the character”);
scanf(“%c”,&ch);
lower=(ch==’a’|| ch==’e’|| ch==’i’ || ch==’o’ || ch==’u’);
upper=(ch==’A’|| ch==’E’|| ch==’I’ || ch==’O’ || ch==’U’);
if(lower || upper)
{
printf(“is vowel”);
}
else if((ch>=’a’ && ch=’A’ && ch<='Z'))
{
printf("is consonant");
}
else
{
printf("not an alphabet");
}
return 0;
}
Please explain this :- ” elseif((c >= ‘a’ && c= ‘A’ && c <= 'Z')) "
Hey Shubham, this condition will check that whether the character is an alphabet or not
