## Program

```
using System;
class HelloWorld {
  static void Main() {
    HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld();
        hw.CountVovelAndConsonant('I know you it ');
  }
  void CountVovelAndConsonant(string str){
      int noVowel=0, noConsonant=0;
    char[] charArray = str.ToCharArray();
      foreach(char ch in charArray){
          if (ch == ' ')
            continue;
          else if(IsVowel(ch))
            noVovel++;
          else
            noConsonant++;
      }
      Console.WriteLine('No of Vowel {0} and No of Consonant {1}',noVowel, noConsonant);
  }
  bool IsVowel(char ch){
      switch(Char.ToLower(ch)){
          case 'a':
          case 'e':
          case 'i':
          case 'o':
          case 'u':
            return true;
        default:
            return false;
      }
  }
