Java Program to check character is vowel or consonant

In this tutorial, you will be learning to write Java Program to check whether the given character is a vowel or consonant.

There are total 5 vowels in the English alphabets a, e, i, o, u.

For Example:

Suppose given character = a

then the output should be “character is the vowel”. Because ‘a’ is a vowel.

Suppose given character = h

then the output should be “character is the consonant”. Because ‘h’ is not a vowel.

Vowel and consonant program in Java

import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
  public static void main (String[]args)
  {
    System.out.println("Vowel and consonant program in Java");
    Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
    System.out.println ("Please enter a character");
    char ch = sc.next ().charAt (0);
    if ((ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z') || (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z'))
      {
	    if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'A' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'E' || ch == 'i'
	        || ch == 'I' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'O' || ch == 'u' || ch == 'U')
	             System.out.println ("Given Character " + ch + " is a vowel.\n");
	    else
	            System.out.println ("Given Character " + ch + " is a consonant.\n");
      }
     else
        System.out.println ("Given Character " + ch +" is neither a vowel nor a consonant.\n");
  }
}

Output 1:

Vowel and consonant program in Java
Please enter a character
r
Given Character r is a consonant.

Output 2:

Vowel and consonant program in Java
Please enter a character
e
Given Character e is a vowel.
