I am trying to find how many vowels and consonants in my string in C
- by John Walter
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
int i;
int counter=0, counter2=0;
char *s;
char name[30];
char vowel[6] = "AEIOU";
char consonants[21] = "BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ";
printf ("input the string: ");
scanf ("%s", name);
printf ("The string is %s\n", name);
for (i=0; name[i]!='\0'; i++) {
if (s = strchr(vowel, name[i])) {
counter++;
}
else if (s =strchr(consonants, name[i])) {
counter2++;
}
printf ("First counter is %d\n", counter);
printf ("The second counter is %d\n", counter2);
return 0;
}
}
And the question is, what is wrong with my code? why counter is not working?
Because I tried a lot of ways, and nothing works, maybe someone can explain for me.
