The letters ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, and ‘u’ in the English alphabet are vowels, while the remaining letters are consonants. We’ll go over how to determine whether a given letter is a vowel or a consonant. We will look at three approaches to this problem: if-else, switch statements, and the indexOf() operator.<\/p>\n

To Check whether a Character is a Vowel or Consonant in Java using an If-else Statement<\/h2>\n

We will be looking at the algorithm first and then following the actual code using this approach.<\/p>\n

Algorithm whether a Character is a Vowel or Consonant in Java using an If-else Statement<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Create a method called ‘Vowel_Or_Consonant’ that accepts the character ‘y’ as input.<\/li>\n
  2. Within the method, determine whether the character ‘y’ equals ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’, ‘A’, ‘E’, ‘I’, ‘O’, or ‘U’.<\/li>\n
  3. Print "It is a Vowel" if the character matches any of the vowels.<\/li>\n
  4. If not, print "It is a Consonant."<\/li>\n
  5. Specify the main method.<\/li>\n
  6. Test the functionality by calling the ‘Vowel_Or_Consonant’ method twice with different characters (‘W’ and ‘I’).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
