Cut each character of the string and store in temp
Check if the value of temp is any of the letters a,e,i,o,u
And increment the value of vowel
Decrement the value of length
STEP 6. Echo the number of vowels in the string

149
PROGRAM:
echo -n "Enter th string "

read str
len=1echo $str | wc -c`
len=èxpr $len - 1`
vowel=0
do
temp=ècho $str | cut -c $len`
if [ $temp = a
then
vowel=èxpr $vowel + 1`
elif [ $temp = e ]
then
elif [ $temp = i ]
then
elif [ $temp = o ]
then
elif
[ $temp = u ]
then
fi
len=èxpr $len - 1`
done
echo " the number of vowels in the string $str is $vowel"

STEP 4.find the length of the string
STEP 5.Initialize the value of count to 0 and I to 1
STEP 6.Repeat the following statements until the condition I<len becomes false
cut the first character and store it in temp
compare temp with the character to be replaced
if both are equal then append the character to be replaces to the new variable
else append temp to new variable
Increment the value of i

151
PROGRAM:
echo -n "Enter the string :"

read str
echo -n "Enter the character to be counted:"
read c
len=èxpr $len - 1`
count=0
do
temp=ècho $str | cut -c $len`
if [ $temp = $c ]
then
count=èxpr $count + 1`
fi
len=èxpr $len - 1`
done
echo "The number of occurrence of the character $c in the string $str is $count"
