Convert vowels into upper case character in a given string

Last Updated : 02 Nov, 2020

Given string str, the task is to convert all the vowels present in the given string to uppercase characters in the given string.

Examples:

Input: str = “GeeksforGeeks”
Output: GEEksfOrGEEks
Explanation:
Vowels present in the given string are: {‘e’, ‘o’}
Replace ‘e’ to ‘E’ and ‘o’ to ‘O’.
Therefore, the required output is GEEksfOrGEEks.

Input: str = “eutopia”
Output: EUtOpIA

Approach: The idea is to iterate over the characters of the given string and check if the current character is a lowercase character and a vowel or not. If found to be true, convert the character to its uppercase. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Traverse the given string and check if str[i] is a lowercase vowel or not.
If found to be true, replace str[i] to (str[i] – ‘a’ + ‘A’).
Finally, after complete the traversal of the string, print the final string.

Below is the implementation of the approach:

C++

// C++ program to implment
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to convert vowels
// into uppercase
string conVowUpp(string& str)
{
    // Stores the length
    // of str
    int N = str.length();
 
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        if (str[i] == 'a' || str[i] == 'e'
            || str[i] == 'i' || str[i] == 'o'
            || str[i] == 'u') {
            str[i] = str[i] - 'a' + 'A';
        }
    }
    return str;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string str = "eutopia";
    cout << conVowUpp(str);
}

Java

// Java program to implment
// the above approach
import java.util.*;
class GFG{
 
// Function to convert vowels
// into uppercase
static void conVowUpp(char[] str)
{
  // Stores the length
  // of str
  int N = str.length;
 
  for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) 
  {
    if (str[i] == 'a' || str[i] == 'e' || 
        str[i] == 'i' || str[i] == 'o' || 
        str[i] == 'u') 
    {
      char c = Character.toUpperCase(str[i]);
      str[i] = c;
    }
  }
  for(char c : str)
    System.out.print(c);
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
  String str = "eutopia";
  conVowUpp(str.toCharArray());
}
}
