C++ Program to Check Whether a character is Vowel or Consonant.

Five alphabets a, e, i, o and u are known as vowels. All other alphabets except these 5 alphabets are known are consonants.

Program

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char c;
    int isLowercaseVowel, isUppercaseVowel;

    cout << "Enter an alphabet: ";
    cin >> c;

    // evaluates to 1 (true) if c is a lowercase vowel
    isLowercaseVowel = (c == 'a' || c == 'e' || c == 'i' || c == 'o' || c == 'u');

    // evaluates to 1 (true) if c is an uppercase vowel
    isUppercaseVowel = (c == 'A' || c == 'E' || c == 'I' || c == 'O' || c == 'U');

    // evaluates to 1 (true) if either isLowercaseVowel or isUppercaseVowel is true
    if (isLowercaseVowel || isUppercaseVowel)
        cout << c << " is a vowel.";
    else
        cout << c << " is a consonant.";

    return 0;
}

Output

Enter an alphabet: u
u is a vowel.
