Check whether all the substrings have number of vowels atleast as that of consonants

Given a string str, the task is to check whether all the substrings of length ≥ 2 have the number of vowels at least as that of the number of consonants.

Examples:

Input: str = “acaba”
Output: No
The substring “cab” has 2 consonants and a single vowel.

Input: str = “aabaa”
Output: Yes

Approach: There are only two cases where the given condition is not satisfied:

1. When there are two consecutive consonants as in this case a substring of size 2 can have 2 consonants and no vowels.
2. When there is a vowel surrounded by two consonants, in this case a substring of length 3 is possible with 2 consonants and 1 vowels.

All the other cases will always satisfy the given conditions.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function that returns true
// if character ch is a vowel
bool isVowel(char ch)
{
    switch (ch) {
    case 'a':
    case 'e':
    case 'i':
    case 'o':
    case 'u':
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

// Compares two integers according
// to their digit sum
bool isSatisfied(string str, int n)
{

    // Check if there are two
    // consecutive consonants
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        if (!isVowel(str[i])
            && !isVowel(str[i - 1])) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    // Check if there is any vowel
    // surrounded by two consonants
    for (int i = 1; i < n - 1; i++) {
        if (isVowel(str[i])
            && !isVowel(str[i - 1])
            && !isVowel(str[i + 1])) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    string str = "acaba";
    int n = str.length();

    if (isSatisfied(str, n))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";

    return 0;
}

        case 'i':
        case 'o':
        case 'u':
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}

            !isVowel(str[i - 1]))
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

    // Check if there is any vowel
    // surrounded by two consonants
    for (int i = 1; i < n - 1; i++)
    {
        if (isVowel(str[i]) &&
            !isVowel(str[i - 1]) &&
            !isVowel(str[i + 1]))
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}
