Answer 2

the fixed code is
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;


void mypause(void);
int specialCounter(char *foo, int &consonants);

bool isVowel(char c);
void menu();

int main()
{
const int BUFFER = 251; //Array size
char str[BUFFER]; // To hold the string
char decision;
int consonants;
bool flag = true;

cout << "Please enter a string (up to 250 characters): " << endl;
cin.getline(str, BUFFER);

int vowels = specialCounter(str, consonants);

do
{
menu();
cin >> decision;
switch(decision)
{
case 'a':
case 'A':
cout << vowels << " vowels\n\n";
break;
case 'b':
case 'B':
cout << consonants << " consonants\n\n";
break;
case 'c':
case 'C':
cout << vowels << " vowels\t " << consonants << " consonants\n\n";
break;
case 'd':
case 'D':
cout << "Please enter a string (up to 250 characters): " << endl;
cin.ignore();
cin.getline(str, BUFFER);
vowels = specialCounter(str, consonants);
break;
case 'e':
case 'E':
flag = false;
break;
default:
cout << "Invalid choice\n";
}
mypause();
}while(flag);

return 0;
}

void menu()
{
cout << "ALPHABETIC VOWEL/CONSONANT COUNTER. NO NUMBERS ALLOWED NERD\n";
cout << "\nA) Count the number of vowels in the string\n";
cout << "B) Count the number of consonants in the string\n";
cout << "C) Count both the vowels and consonants in the string\n";
cout << "D) Enter another string\n";
cout << "E) Exit the program\n\n";
}

bool isVowel(char c)
{
switch(c)
{
case 'a':
case 'A':
case 'e':
case 'E':
case 'i':
case 'I':
case 'o':
case 'O':
case 'u':
case 'U':
return true;
}
return false;
}
int specialCounter(char *foo, int &consonants)
{
int vowels = 0;
consonants = 0;

while (*foo)
{
isVowel(*foo) ? vowels++ : consonants++;
foo++;
}
return vowels;
}
void mypause(void)// Function mypause()
{
system("pause");
return;
}
