Calculate vowels consonants spaces numbers in a sentence

clc

close all

cons=0;

vowels=0;

spaces=0;

num=0;

sp=0;

strg=input('Given string is : ','s');

l=strlength(strg);

for i=1:l

if strg(i)=='a' || strg(i)=='e' || strg(i)=='i' || strg(i)=='o' || strg(i)=='u' strg(i)=='A' || strg(i)=='E' || strg(i)=='I' || strg(i)=='O' || strg(i)=='U'

vowels=vowels+1;

elseif (strg(i)>= 'a' && strg(i)<='z') || (strg(i)>= 'A' && strg(i)<='Z')

cons=cons+1;

elseif strg(i)==' '

spaces=spaces+1;

elseif strg(i)>=0 && strg(i)<=9

num=num+1;

else

sp=sp+1;

end

end

fprintf('Number of vowels=%d',vowels);

fprintf('Number of consonants=%d',cons);

fprintf('Number of spaces=%d',spaces);

fprintf('Number of numbers=%d',num);

This is my code and I am getting an error at line 11 . Can anyone please help me out and check if there are any other errors?

Hi Aagam

It is my understanding that you are trying to count the number of vowels, consonants, spaces, and numbers in a given string. However, you're getting the error.

This error is occurring because of line 11. There should be an OR (||) operator in-between " strg(i)=='u' " and " strg(i)=='A' ".

Please refer to the https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/logical-operations.html (logical operator) documentation for more information on how to use logical operators.

Such a silly mistake anyway Thanks

in Matlab, array indices start from '1'

please edit (line:10)

[Aagam Jain]

I already tried that it isn't working

[Vashist Hegde]

In MATLAB, indexing always starts from 1, change the indexing on line:10 to for i = 1:l
