How to count vowels and consonants in given string in Java?
Problem Description :
Write a program in Java that counts vowels and consonants present in String.
Concept :
There are only 5 alphabets (A, E, I, O, U) that are vowels, other alphabets are consonants.We are using regular expressions to solve this problem. For example - "java" has 2 vowels (a, a) and 2 consonants (j, v).
