a solution for the 2023 ec3 beginner competitive programming final contest's problem A: conlanging in c++.

A_conlanging.cpp

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

bool vowel(char a) {
	return a == 'a' || a == 'e' || a == 'i' || a == 'o' || a == 'u' || a == 'y';
}


int main() {
	ios_base::sync_with_stdio(0);
	cin.tie(0);
	int n; string s; int ans = 0;
	cin >> n >> s; 
	string w;

	for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
		bool flag = 0;
		cin >> w;
		if (w.size() != s.size()) continue; // if the sizes don't match then go on to the next word

		for (int y = 0; y < s.size(); y++) { // loop through syllable structure
			if (s[y] == 'V' && !vowel(w[y])) flag = 1; // if there's supposed to be a vowel but it isn't a vowel go die
			else if (s[y] == 'C' && vowel(w[y])) flag = 1; // if there's supposed to be a consonant but it isn't go die
		}

		if (!flag) ans++; // if you've avoided all those things that disqualify the word, then increment the count
	}

	cout << ans;
}
