Python Program to Check Vowel or Consonant

Python program to check vowel or consonant | In this article, we have to develop a program to check given character vowels or consonants using many methods. The characters A, E, I, O, U (uppercase and lowercase) are called vowels. Except all other characters are called consonants.

Python Program to Check Whether a Character is Vowel or Consonant

We use the if-else statement to check character is vowel or consonant. We will give the characters. Then, check whether a character is a vowel or consonant using the if-else statement. Finally, print the result value.

# Python program to check character is vowel or consonant

# input from user
ch = input('Enter any character: ')

# check vowel or constant and display result
if(ch=='A' or ch=='a' or ch=='E' or ch =='e' or ch=='I' 
      or ch=='i' or ch=='O' or ch=='o' or ch=='U' or ch=='u'):
    print(ch, "is a Vowel")
else:
    print(ch, "is a Consonant")

Output for the different input values:-

Enter any character: a
a is a Vowel

Enter any character: g
g is a Consonant

Enter any character: I
I is a Vowel

Enter any character: T
T is a Consonant

Vowels and Consonant Program in Python

We can also use the built-in function to check if a character is vowels and consonants in python. Check vowel and consonant using the upper(), lower() function, and if-elif-else statement.

# Python program to check character is vowel or consonant

# input from user
l = input('Enter any character: ')

# check vowel or constant and display result
if l.upper() in ('A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'):
    print(l, "is a Vowel")
elif l.lower() in ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'):
    print(l, "is a Vowel")
else:
    print(l, "is a Consonant")

Output:-

Enter any character: E
E is a Vowel

Check Vowels and Consonants using switch case

# Python program to check character is vowel or consonant

def isVowel(ch):  #user-defined function
    switcher = {
        'a': "Vowel",
        'e': "Vowel",
        'i': "Vowel",
        'o': "Vowel",
        'u': "Vowel",
        'A': "Vowel",
        'E': "Vowel",
        'I': "Vowel",
        'O': "Vowel",
        'U': "Vowel"
    }
    return switcher.get(ch, "Consonant")
 
# input from user
ch = input('Enter any character: ')

# calling function and display result
print(ch,'is a '+isVowel(ch))

Output:-

Enter any character: r
r is a Consonant

using the ASCII values

In ASCII these are the respective values of every vowel both in lower and upper cases.

Vowel	Decimal	Hexa-Decimal	Binary
A	65	0x41	01000001
E	69	0x45	01000101
I	73	0x49	01001001
O	79	0x4F	01001111
U	85	0x55	01010101

Vowel	Decimal	Hexa-Decimal	Binary
a	97	0x61	01100001
e	101	0x65	01100101
i	105	0x69	01101001
o	111	0x6F	01101111
u	117	0x75	01110101

Check Whether a character is Vowel or Consonant using ASCII values

# Python code to check character is vowel or consonant

# input from user
ch = input('Enter any character: ')

# check vowel or constant and display result
if(ord(ch) == 65 or ord(ch) == 69 or ord(ch) == 73 or ord(ch) == 79 
                  or ord(ch) == 85 or ord(ch) == 97 or ord(ch) == 101 
                   or ord(ch) == 105 or ord(ch) == 111 or ord(ch) == 117):
    print(ch, "is a Vowel")
else:
    print(ch, "is a Consonant")

Output:-

Enter any character: O
O is a Vowel
