2. Count the number of vowel and consonant in the file and print the count.

3. Count a number of floating point numbers and integer numbers and print the count.

Answer 1

test.txt file:

This is the test line 1
This is the test line 21
5.351 5 -9
2.6

Code:

%{
    int vowel_counter=0;
    int consonant_counter =0;
	int floating_point_counter=0;
	int integer_counter=0;
	int white_spaces_counter=0;
	int lines_counter=0;
%}
  
%%
[aeiouAEIOU] {vowel_counter++;}
[a-zA-Z] {consonant_counter++;}
[0-9]+.[0-9]+ {floating_point_counter++;}
[0-9]+ {integer_counter++;}
([ ])+ {white_spaces_counter++;}
(\n) {lines_counter++;}
%%
int yywrap(){}

//1. Read input from file and write output to file.
   extern FILE *yyin, *yyout;
   char filename[20]="test.txt";
   yyin = fopen(filename,"r"); 
   yyout = fopen("result.txt", "w");
   yylex(); 


//Display the number of vowel and consonant in the file and print the count.

//Display Count total number of lines in the file.

//save to the file
//save the number of vowel and consonant in the file and print the count.
