I'm writing a program that takes an input string and gets the length and/or gets the number of vowels and consonants in the string. I've gotten it working except for consideration of spaces (which are allowed) and error checking for input other than letters. Here is what I've got so far. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

What's the problem ?
See help on code tags, would be more readable if you add =java.

No problem, figured it out, thanks though
