This code challenge comes after we worked with strings and list. Remember that we can iterate through a list (go through the items one index at a time AND we can also iterate at string or go through the letters one at at time). Because you want to check the letters in a word against another set of letters (the vowels 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') you will need to use loops. Look at the loops that have the format for x in string. You will also need to do comparison so if is needed. Keep in mind .remove works on lists not strings so you will have move your string to a list to do this operation, yet you will want to return a string so .join will be needed.

Oh i didn't writ down the code yet but i don'st really understand what i am supposed to do on this challenge: OK, I need you to finish writing a function for me. The function disemvowel takes a single word as a parameter and then returns that word at the end. I need you to make it so, inside of the function, all of the vowels ("a", "e", "i", "o", and "u") are removed from the word. Solve this however you want, it's totally up to you! Oh, be sure to look for both uppercase and lowercase vowels!
