Function to check vowel

i n tc h e c k _ v o w e l ( c h a ra ) { i f( a> =' A '& &a< =' Z ' ) a=a+' a '-' A ' ; / *C o n v e r t i n gt ol o w e rc a s eo ru s ea=a+3 2* / i f( a= =' a '| |a= =' e '| |a= =' i '| |a= =' o '| |a= =' u ' ) r e t u r n1 ; r e t u r n0 ; }

This function can also be used to check if a character is a consonant or not, if it's not a vowel then it will be a consonant, but make sure that the character is an alphabet not a special character.
