Question

Create an educational program for children that distinguishes between vowels and consonants as the user clicks buttons. Create 26 JButtons, each labeled with a different letter of the alphabet. Create a JFrame to hold three JPanels in a two- by-two grid. Randomly select eight of the 26 JButtons and place four in each of the first two JPanels. Add a JLabel to the third JPanel. When the user clicks

a JButton, the text of the JLabel identifies the button’s letter as a vowel or consonant, and then a new randomly selected letter replaces the letter on the JButton. Save the file as JVowelConsonant.java.
