  • Palindrome string
  • Vowels in sentence

1. Count the number of letters in the sentence

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

struct sentence{
char s[500];
};

struct sentence obj;
void countLetters();

int main()
{
cout << "Enter any sentence" << endl;
cin.getline(obj.s,500);
countLetters();
return 0;
}

void countLetters()
{
int i;
int letters = 0; // letters

for(i = 0; i<500; i++)
{
if( (obj.s[i]>='a' && obj.s[i]<='z') || (obj.s[i]<='A' && obj.s[i]>='Z'))
{
 letters++;
}
}
cout<<"\n No of letters in the sentence are : "<<letters;
}
Output of the Program
C++ program to count the number of letters in the sentence

2. Count the number of words in the sentence

#include <iostream>
#include
using namespace std;

struct sentence{
char s[500];
};
struct sentence obj;
void numberofWords();

int main()
{

cout << "Enter any sentence" << endl;
fgets( obj.s, 500, stdin );
numberofWords();

return 0;
}

void numberofWords()
{
int len = strlen(obj.s);
cout<<"\n lenth is " <<len << ",";
int i;
int words = 0;

i = 0;
while(i < len)
{
if (obj.s[i++] == ' ')
{
words++;
}
}
cout<<"words are : "<<words;
}
Output of the Program
C++ program to count the number of letters in the sentence

3. Count the punctuation marks in any sentence

#include
using namespace std;

int main(){
    int countpunct = 0;
    char word;
    
    cout<<"\nEnter the Sentence: ";
    while ((word = getchar()) != EOF && word != '\n'){
        if (word == '.' || word == '?' ||  word == '!' ||  
        word == '(' ||  word == ')' ||  word == '*' ||  word == '&'){
            countpunct++;
        }
    }

    cout<<"\nThe number of punctuation marsks is : "<<countpunct;
}
Ouput of above program
C++ program to count the number of punctuation marks in the sentence

4. Program to find if string is Palindrome

#include <iostream>
#include

using namespace std;

struct sentence{
 char string[50];
};
struct sentence obj;
void function();

int main(){
cout << "Enter any  string: "; cin >> obj.string;
function();
return 0;
}
   
void function()
{
int i, length;
int flag = 0;
length = strlen(obj.string);

for(i=0;i < length ;i++){
if(obj.string[i] != obj.string[length-i-1]){
    flag = 1;
    break;
   }
}

if (flag) {
cout << obj.string << " is not a palindrome" << endl; 
}    
else {
cout << obj.string << " is a palindrome" << endl; 
}

}
Output of program
check if string is palindrom in c++

5. Program to count letters in each word of sentence

#include <iostream>
#define MAX_WORDS	10
using namespace std;

struct st{
char text[100]; // to store string
int cnt[MAX_WORDS]; //to store length of the words   
};

struct st obj;
void printwords();

int main()
{
//reading string
cout<<"Enter any string: ";
fgets( obj.text, 100, stdin );
printwords();
return 0;
}

void printwords()
{
int len=0,i=0,j=0;
while(1)
{
	if(obj.text[i]==' ' || obj.text[i]=='\0')
	{
	//check NULL
	if(obj.text[i]=='\0')
	{
		if(len>0)
		{
			obj.cnt[j++]=len;
			len=0;
		}
		break; //terminate the loop
	}
	obj.cnt[j++]=len;
	len=0;
	}
	else
	{
		len++;
	}		
	i++;
}

cout<<"\n Here is Words length : \n";
for(i=0;i<<j;i++)
{
	cout<<" "<<obj.cnt[i];
}
}
Output of program
C++ program to count letters in each word of sentence

6. Count the vowels in the sentence

#include
#include
using namespace std;

int vowelCount ( char *);

int main(){

char word[80];
cout << "Enter a line: ";
cin.getline (word, 80);
cout << "\n Vowel count: " << vowelCount(word) << endl;

return 0;
}

// returns the number of vowels in a char array
int vowelCount ( char * pCh){
int vowels = 0;

while(*pCh){
if(strspn(pCh, "aeiou"))
vowels++;
pCh++;
}

return vowels;
}
