C Exercises: Count the number of vowels and consonants
C Pointer : Exercise-13 with Solution
Write a program in C to count the number of vowels and consonants in a string using a pointer.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char str1[50];
char *pt;
int ctrV,ctrC;
printf("\n\n Pointer : Count the number of vowels and consonants :\n");
printf("----------------------------------------------------------\n");
printf(" Input a string: ");
fgets(str1, sizeof str1, stdin);
//assign address of str1 to pt
pt=str1;
ctrV=ctrC=0;
while(*pt!='\0')
{
if(*pt=='A' ||*pt=='E' ||*pt=='I' ||*pt=='O' ||*pt=='U' ||*pt=='a' ||*pt=='e' ||*pt=='i' ||*pt=='o' ||*pt=='u')
ctrV++;
else
ctrC++;
pt++; //pointer is increasing for searching the next character
}
printf(" Number of vowels : %d\n Number of consonants : %d\n",ctrV,ctrC-1);
return 0;
}
Sample Output:
Pointer : Count the number of vowels and consonants : ---------------------------------------------------------- Input a string: string Number of vowels : 1 Number of consonants : 5

How to format strings using printf() to get equal length in the output?
You can specify a width on string fields, e.g.
printf("%-20s", "initialization...");
And then whatever's printed with that field will be blank-padded to the width you indicate.
The - left-justifies your text in that field.
