Write a program with a function that accepts a string as an argument and returns the number of uppercase, lowercase, vowel, consonants, and punctuation that the string contains. The application should let the user enter a string and should display the number of uppercases, lowercases, vowels, consonants, and punctuations that the string contains.

Explanation:

The following code is written in Python. It is a function called checkString that takes in a string as an argument and loops through each char in that string and checking to see if it is lowercase, uppercase, vowel, consonant, or punctuations. It adds 1 to the correct variable. At the end of the loop it prints out all of the variables. The picture below shows a test output with the string ", Question."

def checkString(word):

   uppercase = 0

   lowercase = 0

   vowel = 0

   consonants = 0

   punctuation = 0

   vowelArray = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o','u', 'y' ]

   consonantArray = ['b', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

   punctuationArray = ['.', '!', '?', ',', ';', '(', ')']

   for char in word:

       if char.isupper():

           uppercase += 1

       else:

           lowercase += 1

       if char.lower() in vowelArray:

           vowel += 1

       elif char.lower() in consonantArray:

           consonants += 1

       if char in punctuationArray:

           punctuation += 1

   print('Uppercase: ' + str(uppercase))

   print('Lowercase: ' + str(lowercase))

   print('Vowels: ' + str(vowel))

   print('Consonants: ' + str(consonants))

   print('Punctuations: ' + str(punctuation))
