In the following question, we are supposed to ask the user to enter a character and check if it is a vowel or consonant using if-else construct.

The standard algorithm will be:

Enter and Store the User Input.
Create a Duplicate of the user input and change its case for uniformity.
Use if-else construct to compare. Now there might be to sub-cases: Either it might be a vowel or might not be.
If it is a vowel, straightforwardly print a result of success.
If it is not a vowel, it either might be a consonant or a special characters.
Use ASCII Values of Alphabets to do the same.
Print result accordingly.

ASCII VALUES:\n

A-Z: 65 to 90.\r\na-z: 97 to 122.\r\n0-9: 48 to 57.

\nif(z=='A' || z=='E' || z=='I' || z=='O' || z=='U') //Checking if Vowel\r\nSystem.out.println(c+\" is a Vowel.\");\r\nelse\r\n{\r\nif((c>=65 && c<=90) || (c>=97 && c<=122) ) // Checking if character is special character.\r\nSystem.out.println(c+\" is a Consonant.\");\r\nelse\r\nSystem.out.println(c+\" is a Special Character.\");\r\n}
\n}\r\n}\r\n

Output:

Enter Character: X\r\nX is a Consonant.\nEnter Character: i\r\ni is a Vowel. \n

Enter Character: @\r\n@ is a Special Character.
