Count Vowels, Consonants, and Digits in C

 In this tutorial our program will count the number of vowels, consonants, and digits using C programming language. I hope you will find my  work useful.

I am currently accepting programming work, IT projects, school and application development, programming projects, thesis and capstone projects, IT consulting work, computer tutorials, and web development work kindly contact me at the following email address for further details.  If you want to advertise on my website kindly contact me also in my email address also. Thank you.
