No. of vowels and consonants in a given string in PL/SQL
Prerequisite – PL/SQL introduction
In PL/SQL code groups of commands are arranged within a block. A block group related declarations or statements. In declare part, we declare variables and between begin and end part, we perform the operations.
Given a string and the task is to find the number of vowels and consonants present in the string.
Examples:
Input: str = 'Ramesh' Output: Vowels = 2, Consonants = 4 Input: str = 'Ramesh is a Geek' Output: Vowels = 6, Consonants = 7
Approach is to consider a character one by one and maintain a separate count for both vowels and consonants.
Below is the required implementation:
DECLARE -- Here variable V is varchar datatype -- and flag variable is number datatype -- variable c is char datatype . v VARCHAR2(400) := 'Ramesh is a Geek'; noofvowels NUMBER := 0; noofconsonants NUMBER := 0; C CHAR; BEGIN FOR i IN 1..Length(v) LOOP c := Substr(v, i, 1); -- Check if the current character is vowel IF c IN ( 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U' ) OR c IN ( 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' ) THEN noofvowels := noofvowels + 1; -- Else current character is a consonant except space ELSE IF c NOT IN ( ' ' ) THEN noofconsonants := noofconsonants + 1; END IF; END IF; END LOOP; dbms_output.Put_line('No. of Vowels: ' || noofvowels); dbms_output.Put_line('No. of Consonants: ' || noofconsonants); END; -- Program End |
