Vowel count

Hey. So I tried this challenge where we need to count the number of vowels in a sentence. Problem: The for loop somehow stops counting after a “ “ case in the sentence. So e.g. “This is it.” would return only 1 vowel. I tried many different things but to no avail... Where lies the secret to the solution? Who can help? :) ps: I‘m sure there are a lot of the same questions... haven‘t checked. Thank you. https://code.sololearn.com/cM29hgouUExG/?ref=app

Bobby, length still works fine, either way the loop will terminate once the sentence has been read. However, 2 issues here that cause Olivia's code to fail: 1. Sololearn will only accept a number as output so code must be cout<<count; So as nice and practical as her output is it fails the Code Coach. 2. Capitals are also vowels so the vowel[] must also contain A, E, I, O, U So the inner loop must be at least 10, not 5.

Olivia The inner for loop should only loop until 5 instead of lens.
