Program to check for vowel or consonant using switch case in C Language

Introduction: In this article i am going to explain the program that demonstrates how to check whether entered character is vowel or consonant using switch-case statement in C Language. 

Description: In previous articles i explained the program for Else if ladder or multiple else if to check character is vowel or consonant  and Find month name corresponding to number using switch case and Calculate factorial of a number using for loop and Calculate sum,average and division of marks using else-if ladder and Get number of days in month and year using else if ladder and  Find week days corresponding to number using switch case .

As we know there are 5 vowels in the 26 English alphabets ,rest are consonants. So the concept is very simple.  If entered character matches any of the small or capital letter 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' ,'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U' then it is vowel else not. In technical term if character matches any of the switch expression defined in the switch body in the form of cases the the control is transferred to that block otherwise to the default case.

Implementation: Let's create a program to check.

#include<conio.h>

#include<stdio.h>

main()

{

      char ch;

      printf("Enter any character from  A to Z :=");

      scanf(" %c",&ch);

      switch(ch)

      {

      case 'A':

           printf(" Vowel");

           break;

          

      case 'E':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

     

      case 'I':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

     

      case 'O':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

     

      case 'U':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

     

      case 'a':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

          

      case 'e':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

     

      case 'i':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

     

      case 'o':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;

     

      case 'u':

           printf("Vowel");

           break;                                        

            

      default:

           printf("Consonant");

      }     

      getch();             

      }

OUTPUT:

First Run:

 Enter any character from  A to Z := e

 Vowel

Second Run:

 Enter any character from  A to Z := k

 Consonant
