Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


void counter(char paragraph[],int* vowels,int* consonants,int* digits,int* symbols);


void main( void){
	char paragraph[1000];
	int vowels=0;
	int consonants=0;
	int digits=0;
	int symbols=0;


	printf("Enter the paragraph: ");
	gets(paragraph);
	counter(paragraph,&vowels,&consonants,&digits,&symbols);


	printf("The number of vowels: %d\n",vowels);
	printf("The number of consonants: %d\n",consonants);
	printf("The number of digits: %d\n",digits);
	printf("The number of symbols: %d\n\n",symbols);


	getch();
	getch();
}


void counter(char paragraph[],int* vowels,int* consonants,int* digits,int* symbols){
	int vowelsCounter=0;
	int consonantsCounter=0;
	int digitsCounter=0;
	int symbolsCounter=0;
	int i,j;
	for (i = 0; paragraph[i] != '\0'; ++i) {
		if (paragraph[i] == 'a' || paragraph[i] == 'e' || paragraph[i] == 'i' ||
			paragraph[i] == 'o' || paragraph[i] == 'u' || paragraph[i] == 'A' ||
			paragraph[i] == 'E' || paragraph[i] == 'I' || paragraph[i] == 'O' ||
			paragraph[i] == 'U') {
				vowelsCounter++;
		} else if ((paragraph[i] >= 'a' && paragraph[i] <= 'z') || (paragraph[i] >= 'A' && paragraph[i] <= 'Z')) {
			consonantsCounter++;
		} else if (paragraph[i] >= '0' && paragraph[i] <= '9') {
			digitsCounter++;
		} else{
			symbolsCounter++;
		}
	}
	*vowels=vowelsCounter;
	*consonants=consonantsCounter;
	*digits=digitsCounter;
	*symbols=symbolsCounter;
