969 PointsWhat is wrong with my code
I returned something weird with my code. For example, should return 'KrSxkTtN' but I got back 'GxBKrSxkTtN'.
problem = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U"]
newWord = []
def disemvowel(word):
for x in word:
if x not in problem:
newWord.append(x)
string = ''.join(newWord)
return string

11,437 PointsAlso, you should not use camelCase when making variables in python. You should change newWord to new_word. It will still work the way you have it, but it is frowned upon in the python community. (from what I hear, I'm new also.)

969 PointsOh, you are so kind, I'm very appreciated your answer. I will take your advice not to use camelCase.

11,437 PointsI'm not sure why this isn't working. I ran the code on pycharm and got back the correct answer. However, when I put your code in the challenge it did error out. I got back the result "Hmm, got back letters I wasn't expecting! Called disemvowel('WOiyYTfwQ') and expected 'WyYTfwQ'. Got back 'PGKDDqzRWyYTfwQ ". I don't understand how it could return more letters than was put in. lol. I'm interested to see if someone finds an answer. Sorry I couldn't help.
