C# Count Vowels

Question

I am learning to program C# and I am trying to count the vowels. I am getting the program to loop through the sentence, but instead of returning vowel count, it is just retu

Answer 1

There are many ways to skin a cat :-) In programming a little lateral thinking can be useful...

total += sentence.Length - sentence.Replace("a", "").Length;
total += sentence.Length - sentence.Replace("e", "").Length;
total += sentence.Length - sentence.Replace("i", "").Length;
total += sentence.Length - sentence.Replace("o", "").Length;
total += sentence.Length - sentence.Replace("u", "").Length;

You could, for example, try removing a vowel from the sentence and looking if the sentence is smaller without the vowel, and by how much.
