The error I got is-

Main.java:23: error: bad operand types for binary operator '||'
                if(c=='a'||c=='e'||c=='i'||c='o'||c=='u'||c=='y')
                                         ^
  first type:  boolean
  second type: char

I didnt really quite understand it.

Answer 1

The reason is this:

c='o'

in your if condition.

Probably you are just doing this assignment by mistake. So you may want to update this to comparison using

c=='o'

Answer 2

||c='o'||c=='u'

you were using an assignment operator.

||c=='o'||c=='u'

Answer 3

if(c=='a'||c=='e'||c=='i'||c='o'||c=='u'||c=='y')

change c='o' to c=='o'

Actually assignment was happening in your if statement which is not allowed
