Write a program that reads a list of words from the file words.txt and finds the count of vowels, consonants and other punctuation marks. Since English is a bit tricky, assume that a, e, i, o, u are vowels and all others are consonants. Punctuation marks are (!,.?). Do not count whitespace. Write the results in file count-chars.txt

Interesting taks! Here'e my solution:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Pr_03_CountCharacterTypes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("resources/words.txt"));) {
String line = reader.readLine();
List<String> lineArray = new ArrayList<>();
while (line != null) {
lineArray.add(line);
line = reader.readLine();
}
//CHECK IF THE ARRAY IS WORKING System.out.println(lineArray);
// for (int i = 0; i < lineArray.size(); i++) {
// System.out.println(lineArray.get(i));
// }
reader.close();
try (BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("resources/count-chars.txt"))) {
int countVowels = 0;
int countConsonants = 0;
int countPunctuation = 0;
String[] array = new String[lineArray.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < lineArray.size(); i++) {
array[i] = lineArray.get(i);
String inspectLine = array[i];
for (int j = 0; j < inspectLine.length(); j++) {
switch (inspectLine.charAt(j)) {
case 'a':
countVowels += 1;
break;
case 'e':
countVowels += 1;
break;
case 'i':
countVowels += 1;
break;
case 'o':
countVowels += 1;
break;
case 'u':
countVowels += 1;
break;
case ' ':
break;
case '!':
countPunctuation += 1;
break;
case ',':
countPunctuation += 1;
break;
case '.':
countPunctuation += 1;
break;
case '?':
countPunctuation += 1;
break;
default:
countConsonants += 1;
break;
}
}
}
writer.write("Vowels: " + countVowels);
writer.newLine();
writer.write("Consonants: " + countConsonants);
writer.newLine();
writer.write("Punctuation: " + countPunctuation);
writer.close();
System.out.println("Success!");
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("File NOT FOUND! SEARCH FOR IT!");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Another GENERAL mistake!");
}
}
}
