Beginner Help -Counting Vowels

Posted by Patti Forman on February 09, 2002 at 8:05 PM

I'm a beginner. I need to count each vowel in the input string.
What am I missing? Please help.

import java.io.*;


public class CountVowels

{

public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException

{
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.println ("Enter a string: ");
String inString = new String(stdin.readLine());

String stringToRead = inString;
char aeiou;

Character aCharacter;
int aCount = 0;
int eCount = 0;
int iCount = 0;
int oCount = 0;
int uCount = 0;

for (int count = 0;count < stringToRead.length(); count++) {


aeiou= stringToRead.charAt(count);


switch(aeiou) {
case 'a':
aCount = aCount + 1;
case 'e':
eCount = eCount + 1;
case 'i':
iCount = iCount + 1;
case 'o':
oCount = oCount + 1;
case 'u':
uCount = uCount + 1;
}

System.out.println ("Total A=" + aCount);
System.out.println ("Total E=" + eCount);
System.out.println ("Total I=" + iCount);
System.out.println ("Total O=" + oCount);
System.out.println ("Total U=" + uCount);


}
}
}
