Vowel Guessing game

Basically what i have here is a guessing game that allows a user to input a number and letter. Its pretty basic. I have done the easy part for the Number game and will do the medium and hard later but i am having a problem with eh vowel guessing part ..

It seems to be giving me trouble i want make sure it does the same thing as with the number guessing part.

i thought using arrays would be a good idea.. i seem pretty close but still so far:)


PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME ..

The first step to solving a problem is having readable code. I have formatted your code (no fixes), maybe the solution will become clear now:

As you may notice with the correct formatting, you have some missing/extra braces and some other issues as well.
