Vowel Check - Conditional - Python Programming Exercise

This Python program prompts the user to input a symbol and categorizes it as a vowel (if it’s a lowercase vowel), a digit, or any other symbol. The program uses an if statement to check the conditions and classify the input accordingly. It first checks if the symbol is one of the vowels "a", "e", "i", "o", or "u" (in lowercase), then checks if it's a digit using Python's isdigit() method. If neither condition is met, it classifies the symbol as any other character. This simple exercise provides a clear example of conditional statements in Python, allowing users to understand how to make decisions based on user input. By checking different conditions using if statements, this program helps users grasp the concept of string manipulation and type checking, which are fundamental in Python programming. This task also encourages practice in working with characters and strings in a practical context.

Vowel Check - Conditional

 Objective

Develop a Python program to prompt the user for a symbol and respond if it's a vowel (in lowercase), a digit, or any other symbol, using "if".

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Prompt the user for a symbol
symbol = input("Enter a symbol: ")

# Check if the symbol is a vowel (in lowercase)
if symbol in 'aeiou':
    print("It's a vowel.")
# Check if the symbol is a digit
elif symbol.isdigit():
    print("It's a digit.")
# If it's neither a vowel nor a digit, it's another symbol
else:
    print("It's another symbol.")

 Output

Case 1:
Enter a symbol: a
It's a vowel.

Case 2:
Enter a symbol: 5
It's a digit.

Case 3:
Enter a symbol: #
It's another symbol.
