//condition to check character is alphabet or not

if((ch>='A' && ch<='Z') || (ch>='a' && ch<='z'))
{
//check for VOWEL or CONSONANT

printf("%c is a CONSONANT.\n",ch);
}
}
else
{
printf("%c is not an alphabet.\n",ch);
}
return 0;
}
Output

First Run:
Enter a character: E
E is a VOWEL.

Second Run:
Enter a character: X
X is a CONSONANT.

Third Run:
Enter a character: +
+ is not an alphabet.
C program to design calculator with basic operations
using switch
This program will read two integer numbers and an operator like +,-,*,/,% and then print the
result according to given operator, it is a complete calculator program on basic arithmetic
operators using switch statement in c programming language.

Calculator program with Basic operations using switch

/*C program to design calculator with basic operations using switch.*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int num1,num2;
float result;
char ch; //to store operator choice

printf("Enter first number: ");

scanf("%d",&num1);
printf("Enter second number: ");
scanf("%d",&num2);

printf("Choose operation to perform (+,-,*,/,%): ");

scanf(" %c",&ch);

result=0;
switch(ch)
{
case '+':
result=num1+num2;
break;

case '-':
result=num1-num2;
break;

case '*':
result=num1*num2;
break;

case '/':
result=(float)num1/(float)num2;
break;

case '%':
 result=num1%num2;
break;
default:
printf("Invalid operation.\n");
}

printf("Result: %d %c %d = %f\n",num1,ch,num2,result);
return 0;
}

Output

First run:
Enter first number: 10
Enter second number: 20
Choose operation to perform (+,-,*,/,%): +
Result: 10 + 20 = 30.000000

Second run:
Enter first number: 10
Enter second number: 3
Choose operation to perform (+,-,*,/,%): /
Result: 10 / 3 = 3.333333

Third run:
Enter first number: 10
Enter second number: 3
Choose operation to perform (+,-,*,/,%): >
Invalid operation.
Result: 10 > 3 = 0.000000
C program to check whether number is EVEN or ODD
using switch
This program will read an integer number and check whether it is an EVEN or ODD number
using switch case statement in c programming language.

Logic to implement

1. Find the modulus of number dividing by 2 (as we know that EVEN number’s modulus is 0
and ODD number’s modulus is 1).
2. Check the case values with 0 and 1.
3. In the case value 0, number will be EVEN and case value 1, number will be ODD.

Check EVEN or ODD program using switch

/*C program to check whether number is EVEN or ODD using switch.*/

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int number;

printf("Enter a positive integer number: ");

scanf("%d",&number);

switch(number%2) //this will return either 0 or 1

{
case 0:
printf("%d is an EVEN number.\n",number);
break;
case 1:
printf("%d is an ODD number.\n",number);
break;
}

return 0;
}

Output
First run:
Enter a positive integer number: 10
10 is an EVEN number.

Second run:
Enter a positive integer number: 11
11 is an ODD number.
C program to find number of days in a month using
switch case
This program will read month value and print total number of days in input month in C language.

In this c program, we will learn how to get number of days in a month. To get number of days
in a month we are using switch case statement in this program.

Here, we are not using break after each switch case statement because we can check multiple
case values for same body.

Note: Here we are not checking leap year, so we fixed 28 days in February.

Program to find number of days in a month using C

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int month;
int days;

printf("Enter month: ");

scanf("%d",&month);

switch(month)
{
case 4:
case 6:
case 9:
case 11:
days=30;
break;
case 1:
case 3:
case 5:
case 7:
case 8:
case 10:
case 12:
days=31;
break;

case 2:
days=28;
break;
 default:
days=0;
break;
}

if(days)
printf("Number of days in %d month is: %d\n",month,days);
else
printf("You have entered an invalid month!!!\n");

return 0;

Output
First run:
Enter month: 3
Number of days in 3 month is: 31

Second run:
Enter month: 2
Number of days in 2 month is: 28

Third run:
Enter month: 11
Number of days in 11 month is: 30

Fourth run:
Enter month: 13
You have entered an invalid month!!!
