c# - Check if a character is a vowel or consonant?

Question

Is there a code to check if a character is a vowel or consonant? Some thing like char = IsVowel? Or need to hard code?

case ‘a’:
case ‘e’:
case ‘i’:
case ‘o’:
case ‘u’:
case ‘A’:
case ‘E’:
case ‘I’:
case ‘O’:
case ‘U’:

Answer 1

You could do this:

char c = ...
bool isVowel = "aeiouAEIOU".IndexOf(c) >= 0;

or this:

char c = ...
bool isVowel = "aeiou".IndexOf(c.ToString(), StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) >= 0;

Once you add international support for things like éèe???ê?e???и etc. this string will get long, but the basic solution is the same.
