hi can anyone help me with this?

[enteng420]

create a program that accepts the full name of a student. the program should count and display all the vowels and consonants. we cannot use array and the program must loop.

here's the sample output:
Enter student name: John Brown
There are 2 vowels and 7 consonants

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

So in essence what you've done is to give us your entire assignment without asking a question, and I'm afraid that in this situation there's not much that we can do for you other than to direct you to a tutorial or two.

I suggest that you post your best solution that you've created so far, and ask as specific questions as possible, and we'll be much better able to help. If you really have no idea how to begin here, then please have a look here: Starting Writing a Program. It's a well-written article that can help.

Much luck

thanks for replying. im really a newbie in making programs in java. here's what i made.

import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
class mp1test
{
	public static void main(String args[])throws IOException
	{
	  final String consonants = "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz" +
	                          "BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ";
	  BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
	  num=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
	  char ch;
	  char answer;
	  String Vowels;
	  String Consonants;
	  System.out.println("Enter Full name of student");
	  System.in.read();System.in.read();
	  System.out.println("There are "+vowels  +consonants);
        for (int i = 0; i < total; i++) {
            char ch = inputString.charAt(i);
            if ((ch == 'a') || (ch == 'A') || (ch == 'e') || (ch == 'E') || (ch == 'i') || (ch == 'I') || (ch == 'o') || (ch == 'O') || (ch == 'u') || (ch == 'U'))
{
                numVowels++;
		{
            elseif(Character.isLetter(ch)); 
		numCons++;
		}
                
	}
	}
	}

could you help me with this? :)

Moderator Edit: Code tags added

As Fubarable posted, you first need to ask a question. This means that you need to tell us how your current code doesn't work or what specific aspect do you not understand?

mp1test.java:31: reached end of file while parsing

[Fubarable]

Note, I added code tags in your post above to help make your code readable. To see how to do this yourself, please look at my signature.

Much luck!

I'm not even able to compile your code due to many errors: num not declared, vowels not declared, total and inputString not declared. Is this the actual program that you have run and that generated the error you mention above? I'm sorry, but it just can't be. For better help, please post the compilable version of your program.

[curmudgeon]

Also (1): what is the purpose for this line?:

num=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());

Again, num is never declared and also, it's never used, so why even have it in your code?

Also (2): If you're going to create a BufferedReader object, br, to get user input from the keyboard, you might as well use this to get the user input. So get rid of these statements:

System.in.read();System.in.read();

as they serve no useful purpose here and instead use your br variable.

Hm,... as I'm looking through your program, it appears almost as if you tried to cobble together a program using bits and pieces of code from other programs without knowing what the code does. This won't work ever. You'll need to go over your lesson notes, text and tutorials to understand what each bit of code does before you try to use it.

if you getting the data from JOptionPane

Use these steps:

//declaration
int vowels;
int consonant;
String name;

//then ask the user to enter the name

//convert name into char

//check vowels and consonants using "if" statement
//display the name and number of vowels and consonants.
