C# Exercise: 60 Vowel - switch

In this C# exercise, you are asked to write a program that prompts the user for a symbol and, using the switch statement, determines whether the symbol entered is a vowel (in lowercase), a digit, or any other symbol. The program should evaluate the user's input and respond appropriately based on which category the symbol belongs to. This type of exercise is useful for understanding how the switch statement works and how you can make comparisons for multiple cases. Additionally, you will get familiar with character manipulation and detecting specific types of symbols using control structures.

This exercise is essential for reinforcing your understanding of working with control structures in C# and interacting with the user to process inputs efficiently. It is also great for practicing selection logic, which is common in developing interactive applications and processing user input.

Exercises like this are perfect for those starting with C# programming, as they help you grasp the basics of the switch statement and data classification within larger programs.

Vowel - switch

 Objetive

Write a C# program to ask the user for a symbol and respond whether it is a vowel (in lowercase), a digit, or any other symbol, using "switch".

 Example Code

using System;  // Import the System namespace to use basic classes like Console

class Program  // Define the main class of the program
{
    static void Main()  // The entry point of the program
    {
        // Ask the user to enter a symbol
        Console.Write("Enter a symbol: ");  // Display prompt for symbol input
        char symbol = Console.ReadKey().KeyChar;  // Read a single character input from the user

        // Move to the next line after the symbol input
        Console.WriteLine();

        // Use switch to determine if the symbol is a vowel, digit, or other symbol
        switch (symbol)
        {
            case 'a':  // If the symbol is 'a'
            case 'e':  // If the symbol is 'e'
            case 'i':  // If the symbol is 'i'
            case 'o':  // If the symbol is 'o'
            case 'u':  // If the symbol is 'u'
                Console.WriteLine("It is a vowel.");  // Display message for vowel
                break;

            // Check if the symbol is a digit
            case '0':
            case '1':
            case '2':
            case '3':
            case '4':
            case '5':
            case '6':
            case '7':
            case '8':
            case '9':
                Console.WriteLine("It is a digit.");  // Display message for digit
                break;

            // If the symbol is neither a vowel nor a digit
            default:
                Console.WriteLine("It is another symbol.");  // Display message for other symbols
                break;
        }
    }
}
