The five English vowels are: a, e, i, o, u (both upper and lowercase). Every other alphabetic character is a consonant. Non-alphabetic characters (digits, punctuation, spaces) are neither vowel nor consonant. This program uses the <ctype.h> functions isalpha() and tolower() for clean, case-insensitive classification. The original post used a Gist shortcode ([gist id=”7112441″]) that no …
A simple calculator in C using switch statement reads an operator character (+, -, *, /) and dispatches to the correct arithmetic operation. The switch statement is ideal here: each operator maps to exactly one case, with a default branch catching anything unsupported. This program also demonstrates proper division-by-zero handling — an error that causes …
Bubble Sort is the simplest sorting algorithm to understand and implement. It works by repeatedly comparing adjacent elements and swapping them if they are in the wrong order. After each pass, the largest unsorted element has “bubbled up” to its correct position at the end — just like air bubbles rising to the surface of …
Binary search in C finds a target value in a sorted array by repeatedly halving the search space. At each step it compares the target against the middle element: if they match, the search is done; if the target is smaller, discard the right half; if larger, discard the left half. This gives O(log n) …
A triangle is classified by the relationship between its three sides: Equilateral — all three sides are equal (all angles are 60°) Isosceles — exactly two sides are equal (two base angles are equal) Scalene — all three sides are different (all angles are different) Before classifying, the program validates the triangle inequality: for any …
