2D Alphabet Matrix


Write a Java program that reads a 5 X 5 array of characters and counts and displays the frequency of vowels in it, both row-wise and column-wise. The program should ensure that the user is able to enter only valid alphabets as inputs to the array.

For example: Consider the following array:

The row-wise frequency is:

Row 1: a=2; e=1; i=0; o=0; u=0;

Row 2: a=0; e=0; i=0; o=0; u=2;

Row 3: a=0; e=1; i=0; o=0; u=0;

Row 4: a=0; e=1; i=2; o=0; u=1;

Row 5: a=1; e=0; i=1; o=2; u=0;


And, the column-wise frequency is:

Col 1: a=1; e=0; i=1; o=0; u=0;

Col 2: a=0; e=1; i=1; o=0; u=0;

Col 3: a=1; e=1; i=1; o=0; u=1;

Col 4: a=0; e=0; i=0; o=1; u=2;

Col 5: a=1; e=1; i=0; o=1; u=0;
