I'm having an EOFError when I attempt to run this code. It's supposed to be a function that takes in a word and removes the vowels from it before returning the word.
def disemvowel(word):
word = input("What word would you like disemvoweled?/n> ")
try:
word.delete("A", "E", "I", "O", "U", "Y", "a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "y")
except ValueError:
pass
return word

2,933 PointsI appreciate the response. I based that code off the example in the lesson prior to the challenge and I actually meant to remove the delete before I posted this but I forgot. Originally I had it as a remove but that didn't work and in my frustration I tried a few things that obviously also didn't work. I just can't seem to get this to function regardless of what I am trying and after watching the lesson again I'm still lost.
