I tested it and it works

import java.io.*;

public class CountVowels

{
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException

{
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

System.out.println ("Enter a string: ");
String inString = new String(stdin.readLine());

String stringToRead = inString;
char aeiouAEIOU;

int aCount = 0;
int eCount = 0;
int iCount = 0;
int oCount = 0;
int uCount = 0;
int otherletters = 0;
for (int count = 0;count < stringToRead.length();count++) {

aeiouAEIOU= stringToRead.charAt(count);

switch(aeiouAEIOU) {
case 'a':case 'A':
aCount = aCount + 1;
break;
case 'e':case 'E':
eCount = eCount + 1;
break;
case 'i':case 'I':
iCount = iCount + 1;
break;
case 'o':case 'O':
oCount = oCount + 1;
break;
case 'u':case 'U':
uCount = uCount + 1;
break;
default: //just add default after the last case
otherletters++; //if the char is not aeiouAEIOU, then
break; //otherCount++ will be executed
}
}
System.out.println ("Total A=" + aCount);
System.out.println ("Total E=" + eCount);
System.out.println ("Total I=" + iCount);
System.out.println ("Total O=" + oCount);
System.out.println ("Total U=" + uCount);
//original codes dont have + otherletters
System.out.println ("Total Other=" + otherletters);
}
}
