Java 8 program that counts the number of vowels and consonants in a given string

In this short article, we will write a Java 8 program to counts the number of vowels and consonants in a given string.

We will use Java 8 lambda expression and stream API to write this program.

Java 8 program counts the number of vowels and consonants in a given string

package com.java.tutorials.programs;

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

public class Java8Program {

    private static final Set < Character > allVowels = new HashSet(Arrays.asList('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'));

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String str = "sourcecodeexamples";

        long vowels = str.chars()
            .filter(c - > allVowels.contains((char) c))
            .count();
        long consonants = str.chars()
            .filter(c - > !allVowels.contains((char) c))
            .filter(ch - > (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z'))
            .count();

        System.out.println("vowels count => " + vowels);
        System.out.println("consonants => " + consonants);
    }

}

Output:

vowels count => 8
consonants => 10
