Write a program to input a sentence. Create a new sentence by replacing each consonant with the previous letter. If the previous letter is a vowel then replace it with the next letter (i.e., if the letter is B then replace it with C as the previous letter of B is A). Other characters must remain the same. Display the new sentence.
