im doing a program for school called the "word canibalizer". apparently its supped to take the raw components of a word and display them on the screen. for example... input = 12er45yu output - 4 numbers - 2 vowels - 2 constanants - 0 other - 0 spaces i do not have any clue on how either index or length work, or how they can be put together to make such a program. even after the teacher explained it to me countless times, im still lost. can any1 help me out here?

Here's a hint:

code:

const numbers := "0123456789"

for i : 1 .. length (input)
if index (numbers, input (i)) > 0 then
num_of_numbers += 1
end if
end for
