- Write a C program to check if a character is a vowel by comparing its ASCII value against vowel codes.
Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h> // Include the standard input/output header file.
void main()
{
char sing_ch; // Declare a variable to store a single character.
printf("Input any alphabet : "); // Prompt user for input.
scanf("%c", &sing_ch); // Read and store the character input.
if(sing_ch=='a' || sing_ch=='e' || sing_ch=='i' || sing_ch=='o' || sing_ch=='u' || sing_ch=='A' || sing_ch=='E' || sing_ch=='I' || sing_ch=='O' || sing_ch=='U')
{
printf("The alphabet is a vowel.\n"); // Print message for vowel.
}
else if((sing_ch>='a' && sing_ch<='z') || (sing_ch>='A' && sing_ch<='Z'))
{
printf("The alphabet is a consonant.\n"); // Print message for consonant.
}
else
{
printf("The character is not an alphabet.\n"); // Print message for non-alphabet character.
}
}
Output:
Input any alphabet : K The alphabet is a consonant.
