Count the number of vowels and consonants in a Linked List

Given a linked list containing lowercase English alphabets, the task is to count the number of consonants and vowels present in the linked list.

Example:

Input: Linked List: a ->b->o->y -> e ->z->NULL
Output: 
Vowels : 3
Consonants: 3

Input: Linked List: a -> e -> b->c->s->e->y->t->NULL
Output:
Vowels: 3
Consonants:5

Approach: To solve this problem, follow the below steps:

  1. Create two variables, vowel and consonant to store the number of vowels and consonants respectively. Initialize both of them with 0.
  2. Now, start traversing the linked list, and increment vowel by 1 if the character matches with anyone from the set of [a, e, i, o, u] else increment consonant by 1.
  3. Print the answer according to the above observation.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// A linked list node
struct Node {
    char data;
    struct Node* next;
 
    Node(char key)
    {
        data = key;
        next = NULL;
    }
};
 
// Utility function to check if a character
// is a vowel or not
bool isVowel(char x)
{
    return (x == 'a' || x == 'e'
            || x == 'i' || x == 'o'
            || x == 'u');
}
 
// Function to count the number
// of vowels and consonants
void count(struct Node* head)
{
    int vowel = 0;
    int consonant = 0;
 
    for (Node* itr = head; itr != NULL; itr = itr->next) {
        if (isVowel(itr->data)) {
            vowel++;
        }
        else {
            consonant++;
        }
    }
    cout << "Vowel: " << vowel << endl;
    cout << "Consonant: " << consonant << endl;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    Node* head = new Node('u');
    head->next = new Node('h');
    head->next->next = new Node('d');
    head->next->next->next = new Node('a');
    head->next->next->next->next = new Node('n');
 
    count(head);
 
    return 0;
}
