I need to program a simple console application that takes an input string and then calls a sub routine to figure out the amount of words and the amount of vowels in the string. I've written this and for some reason it doesn't output the text I put in the Console.Writeline
code. Any help on how to do this?
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim Sentence As String
Console.WriteLine("Sentence Analysis")
Console.WriteLine()
Console.WriteLine("Enter a sentence then press 'Enter'")
Console.WriteLine()
Sentence = Console.ReadLine()
Sentence = Sentence.ToUpper
Call Words(Sentence)
Call Vowels(Sentence)
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
Sub Words(ByVal Input As String)
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Index As Short
Dim Character As Char
Do Until Index = Len(Input)
Character = Input.Substring(Index)
If Character = " " Then
Count = Count + 1
End If
Loop
Console.WriteLine("Your sentence contains {0} words.", (Count))
End Sub
Sub Vowels(ByVal Input As String)
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Vowels() As String = {"A", "E", "I", "O", "U"}
Dim Index As Short
Dim Character As Char
Do Until Index = Len(Input)
Character = Input.Substring(Index)
If Character = Vowels(Index) Then
Count = +1
End If
Loop
Console.WriteLine("Your sentence contains {0} words.", (Count))
End Sub
End Module
In Words
you have the following code:
Do Until Index = Len(Input)
Index is never incremented and so loops infinitely.
Same issue in Vowels
as well
