```
#include<iostream>
```
```
#include<ctype.h>
```
```
using namespace std;
```
```
int main ()
```
```
{
```

```
    cin >> ch;
```
```
    if (isdigit(ch))
```

```
    else if (isalpha(ch))
```
```
        {
```

            if ((ch == 'A') || (ch == 'E')|| (ch == 'I')|| (ch == 'O')|| (ch == 'U')|| (ch == 'a')|| (ch == 'e')||

            (ch == 'i')|| (ch == 'o')|| (ch == 'u'))

                cout << "\nThe entered character is a vowel.";

```
            else
```

                cout << "\nThe entered character is a consonant.";

}
```

Program Explanation

1. The user is asked to enter a character and is stored in the variable ‘char’.
2. The character is checked if it is a vowel, consonant or digit using functions under the library ctype.h.
3. If it is neither of the three, then the entered character is a special character,
4. The result is then printed.
