Thread: function isVowel

I have this code that I am having trouble trying to get working, I am new to programming and am having difficulty can someone help me get my function to work properly?

I have to identify whether or not a vowel has been entered then once it has been entered I need to display the number of vowels in the sentence. I can't figure out the proper logic to do the count and display my output. I am following my chapter but I am obviously doing something very wrong. The comments were what my teacher said needed to be done. Can someone help me?



#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
bool isVowel(char ch);




int main()
{

char letter, quit;

cout<<"Enter a sentence "<<endl;
cin.get(letter); // use cin.get(letter); to store the character data in variable ch
cout<<"There are "<<isVowel(letter)<<" vowels in this sentence. "<<endl;

cout<<"Press any key to continue "<<endl;
cin>>quit;

// use cin.get(ch); to store the character data in variable ch
return 0;
}

// add logic here to test if the character is a vowel
// and if it is a vowel,then increment a counter

bool isVowel(char ch)
{
if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'A' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'E' || ch == 'i' ||
ch == 'I' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'O' || ch == 'u' || ch == 'U')
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

I'm not completely sure of what you want to be done, but I think you'll be needing some loops. Here's what I think you want to have happen:

Code:

while the user doesn't want to quit
{
   Get a character
   if it's a vowel
      add it to the running total
   if it's the quit value
       end loop

    print sentence
   print running total
}
