JavaScript to find & count Vowels in a String

Let’s write a simple JavaScript to count the number of vowels present in a string and print it.

And also you will learn the below ideas from this JavaScript tutorial, such as:
1. How to define an array in JavaScript
2. How to find the length of a String in JavaScript
3. How to create a function and call it in JavaScript
4. How to loop through string characters in JavaScript

Before writing the entire code, here is the JavaScript function:

   function findVowels(){[	  
		//set an array of vowels here
		var vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'];
		var vowelsFound = [];
		//get the string from textbox
		var txt = document.getElementById("txt").value;
		//loop each character from string and find the vowels
		for(i=0; i < txt.length; i++){
			if(vowels.indexOf(txt[i]) != -1){
				vowelsFound.push(txt[i]);
			}
		}
		document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "<p><strong>Vowels found:</strong> "+ vowelsFound +"</p><p><strong>Vowels count:</strong> "+ vowelsFound.length +"</p>";
	  }

Now, let’s write the entire JavaScript example snippet to count the number of vowels in a String:

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

    <script>
      function findVowels(){[	  
		//set an array of vowels here
		var vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'];
		var vowelsFound = [];
		//get the string from textbox
		var txt = document.getElementById("txt").value;
		//loop each character from string and find the vowels
		for(i=0; i < txt.length; i++){
			if(vowels.indexOf(txt[i]) != -1){
				vowelsFound.push(txt[i]);
			}
		}
		document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "<p><strong>Vowels found:</strong> "+ vowelsFound +"</p><p><strong>Vowels count:</strong> "+ vowelsFound.length +"</p>";
	  }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <br />
        <h2>JavaScript to find Vowels in a String by tutorialsmade.com</h2>
        <br />
        <form action="" id="myform">
            <div class="form-group">
              <label for="txt">Enter Text:</label>
              <input type="text" class="form-control req" id="txt" >
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
			  <div id="result"></div>
			</div>
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-success" onclick="findVowels()">Submit</button>
          </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

I have used bootstrap to make the page look neat, you can skip it if you don’t want.
