Answer 1

# Just use "Copy text" and paste it into Python CodePlayground
# If you want to do it the smartest way - import re and find and match vowels and consonants.

# However, you may also create a vowels list by hand (as it's shorter than consonants ;) and iterate through the given string adding 1 whenever the currently iterated element is in the vowels list.

# Like this:

vowels = 'aeiou' # 'y' is iffy in English ;)
s = 'AlohaNamaSayaBudi'
v = 0 # v will act as a vowel counter

for ch in s: # iterating through the string
if ch.lower() in vowels:
v += 1 # increase v by one if a vowel is spotted

print('{} has {} vowels and {} consonants.'.format(s, v, len(s)-v))
# prints the string, the vowels and the number equal to length minus vowels (assuming there are no spaces or special characters)

Answer 2

@Ace Very True, but it came to me unexpectedly on an English test ;) Had never really thought about it and I assumed of course it's a vowel, just like in Polish. Zonk! Nope. :)

Answer 3

By vocal, I think you mean vowel.

vowel = 0
consonant = 0

for letter in 'AlohaNamaSayaBudi'.lower():
if letter in 'aeiou':
vowel += 1
else:
consonant += 1

print(vowel)
print(consonant)
