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!
def disemvowel(word):
vowels = ["a","e","i","o","u"]
result = []
newWord = word.lower()
for letter in newWord:
if letter not in vowels:
result.append(letter)
return result

vowels = ["a","e","i","o","u"]
result = []
newWord = word.lower() # converts result to all lowercase
for letter in newWord:
if letter not in vowels:
result.append(letter)
return result #exits prematurely (need to outdent) and returns a list
With fixes applied:
def disemvowel(word):
vowels = ["a","e","i","o","u"]
result = []
for letter in word:
if letter.lower() not in vowels:
result.append(letter)
return "".join(result)
