def disemvowel(word): word=list(word) for it in word: if( it=='a' or it=='A' or it=='e' or it=='E' or it=='i' or it=='I' or it=='o' or it=='O' or it=='u' or it=='U'): try: word.remove(it) except ValueError: pass word = ','.join(word) return word
This is the script I am using. But this is not passing the test. It is throwing an error saying that 'got some vowels back' Can anyone help me here?
def disemvowel(word):
word=list(word)
for it in word:
if( it=='a' or it=='A' or it=='e' or it=='E' or it=='i' or it=='I' or it=='o' or it=='O' or it=='u' or it=='U'):
try:
word.remove(it)
except ValueError:
pass
word = ','.join(word)
return word

It seems that you make this code DRY-er (DRY stands for Don't Repeat Yourself) by using the in keyword:
def disemvowel(word):
result = ''
for letter in word:
if letter.lower() not in 'aeiou':
result += letter
return result
Good luck! ~Alex
