Talk:Count how many vowels and consonants occur in a string: Difference between revisions

added some suggestions.

Line 3:
 
:Although his code is certainly wrong, I can't understand why it hasn't given the correct answer for the string he's testing (19 consonants). The only characters it contains which aren't vowels and consonants are space and double-quote and, whilst there are 5 of these, they both have ASCII codes below 65 and so should be excluded from the consonant count. Very strange. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 14:03, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 
 
== task wording ==
 
I think the task's wording should be expanded a bit   (if it is to be kept).
:*   '''Check'''   maybe should be changed to   '''Count'''.
:*   If a '''count''' is desired,   then the task should request the  ''showing''  of the counts.
:*   An example   (or better yet, examples)   of what can/should be used so everybody's solution shows the same count(s).
:*   Maybe it should be specified that only   '''Latin'''   letters are to be counted,   and no letters with diacritical marks are to be considered   (or maybe they should).
:* &nbsp; Should there be a count showing &nbsp; '''U'''&nbsp;<small>&amp;</small>&nbsp;'''u''' &nbsp; separately? &nbsp; &nbsp; Or show both, &nbsp; a sum of the two cases (upper + lower), &nbsp; and a count that shows the individual cases.
