Java Program To Check Whether An Alphabet Is Vowel or Consonant (If-Else & Switch-Case)

This document provides two examples of using conditionals in Java to check if a character is a vowel or consonant. The first example uses an if-else statement to check if the character is equal to a vowel, and if not, it is a consonant. The second example uses a switch statement with cases for each vowel, and a default case to check for consonants. Both examples take a character as input and output whether it is a vowel or consonant to demonstrate these conditional checking techniques in Java.

Example 1: Check whether an alphabet is vowel or consonant

using if..else statement

public class VowelConsonant {

public static void main(String[] args) {

char ch = 'i';

if(ch == 'a' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'i' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'u' )


System.out.println(ch + " is vowel");
else
System.out.println(ch + " is consonant");

}
}

Output

i is vowel

In the above program, 'i' is stored in a char variable ch . In Java, you use double
quotes (" ") for strings and single quotes (' ') for characters.

Now, to check whether ch is vowel or not, we check if ch is any of:


('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') . This is done using a simple if..else statement.

We can also check for vowel or consonant using a switch statement in Java.

Example 2: Check whether an alphabet is vowel or consonant


using switch statement
public class VowelConsonant {

public static void main(String[] args) {

char ch = 'z';

switch (ch) {
case 'a':
case 'e':
case 'i':
case 'o':
case 'u':
System.out.println(ch + " is vowel");
break;
default:
System.out.println(ch + " is consonant");
}
}
}

Output

z is consonant

In the above program, instead of using a long if condition, we replace it with a


switch case statement.

If ch is either of cases: ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') , vowel is printed. Else, default case
is executed and consonant is printed on the screen.
