Python Exercise: Check whether an alphabet is a vowel or consonant
32. Vowel or Consonant Checker
Write a Python program to check whether an alphabet is a vowel or consonant.
Pictorial Presentation:
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Request input from the user to input a letter of the alphabet and assign it to the variable 'l'
l = input("Input a letter of the alphabet: ")
# Check if the input letter 'l' is present in the tuple containing vowels ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')
if l in ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'):
print("%s is a vowel." % l) # Display a message stating that the input letter is a vowel
# If the input letter is 'y', display a message stating that it sometimes represents a vowel and sometimes a consonant
elif l == 'y':
print("Sometimes the letter y stands for a vowel, sometimes for a consonant.")
# If the input letter doesn't fall into any of the above conditions, it is considered a consonant; display a message stating so
else:
print("%s is a consonant." % l)
Sample Output:
Input a letter of the alphabet: u u is a vowel.
