Unit 6 Assignment B

Programming Exercise #20 (Chapter 6)

Write a function that takes as a parameter a string and returns the number of times each
lowercase vowels appears in it (a, e, i, o, u). The function prototype should look like:
void countVowels(string str, int& aCt, int& eCt, int& iCt, int& oCt, int& uCt);
Also, write a main program that tests your function by allowing the user to enter in a
string and is passed to the function.

for (int i=0; i < strLen; i++) {
//To optimize processing time, set the character once.
char cVal = str[i];
