Program to count the total number of vowels in a file

In this python file program, we will count the total number of vowels in a file with the help of the below-given steps. Let’s consider we have readcontent.txt file with the below content.

				
					#readcontent.txt
Line1 : This is India.
Line2 : This is America.
Line3 : This is Canada.
Line4 : This is Australia.

				
			
Steps to solve the program
  1. Open the first file by using open(“readcontent.txt”).
  2. Read the data and split it into words using file.read().split().
  3. Create a list of vowels.
  4. Create a count variable and assign its value equal to 0.
  5. Use a for loop to iterate over the words.
  6. Use a nested for loop to iterate over the characters in the word.
  7. Check whether the character is in the vowels list using an if statement.
  8. If yes then add 1 to the count variable.
  9. Print the output.
				
					# Open file
file = open('readcontent.txt')
# Read data and converting it into words
words = file.read().split()
# Create list of vowels
vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u','A','E','I','O','U']
# Create count variable
count = 0
# Iterate over words
for word in words:
# Iterate over characters in the word
    for char in word:
    # Check for vowels
        if char in vowels:
    # Add 1 to the count variable for each vowel
            count += 1
# Print output
print("Total number of vowels in the file: ",count)
				
			

Output :

Total number of vowels in the file: 31

 

 

count the total number of consonants in a file.
