Vowel count

Question

Hey. So I tried this challenge where we need to count the number of vowels in a sentence.
Problem: The for loop somehow stops counting after a “ “ case in the sentence. So e.g. “This is it.” would return only 1 vowel. I tried many different things but to no avail...
Where lies the secret to the solution? Who can help? :)

ps: I‘m sure there are a lot of the same questions... haven‘t checked.

Thank you.

Answer 1

its just how cin works. it'll stop reading if met with whitespace.
try getline

getline(cin,str);

This works.

Answer 3

Bobby, length still works fine, either way the loop will terminate once the sentence has been read.

However, 2 issues here that cause Olivia's code to fail:
1. Sololearn will only accept a number as output so code must be cout<<count;

So as nice and practical as her output is it fails the Code Coach.

2. Capitals are also vowels so the vowel[] must also contain A, E, I, O, U
So the inner loop must be at least 10, not 5.

Answer 4

See above. ;) sorry used the wrong piece of code first.

Answer 5

Olivia
The inner for loop should only loop until 5 instead of lens.

Answer 6

Thanks for all the advice! I will try.
