How to code "How many vowels in this strings"

I'm a novice about Python. I tried to code "Count how many vowels in this strings" There is a way I can code, but it's so messy so I wanted to make it simple. Below is the problem that I have to solve. """ Write a program that counts up the number of vowels contained in the string s. Valid vowels are: 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' . For example, if s ='ffsdfddadxcxvxaaed', your program should print >>> Number of vowels: 4 So below is code that I coded. --------------------------------------------- s = 'dfsjknsckmlaaeiodkldmf' for i in s: vowels = 0 if i == 'a': vowels += 1 else: pass print(vowels) -------------------------------- When I run this, the result is 0. My question is, 1. why my coding result is 0? And what is wrong with my code? 2. How can I code simply about "How many vowels in this strings?" Thank you for making time and I hope you to have really great days!! :):):)

using list: text = input() my_list = ["a", "e", "i", "o","u"] new_list = [] for c in text: if c in my_list: new_list.append(c) print(len(new_list))

text = input() count = 0 vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"] for x in text: if (x in vovels): count += 1 print(count)

Try this. This works. str = input() count = 0 for c in str : if(c=='a' or c=='e' or c=='i' or c=='o' or c=='u' or c=='A' or c=='E' or c=='I' or c=='O' or c=='U'): count += 1 print(count)

전민경 Because you are re-initialise the vowels variable inside loop. That's why your result is giving 0. It should be like this: string = "abcdaefghaj" vowels = 0 for i in string: if i == 'a': vowels += 1 print(vowels)

Here is my solution ,i think this is more shorter than what was posted here : string=input() count=0 for c in string : if c in {"a","e","i","o","u"}: count+=1 print(count)

Here is my solution: text = input() my_list = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U",] i = 0 for ch in text: if ch in my_list: i += 1 print(i)

Simisola Osinowo You forgot to add 'input' at the beginning of your code. --- string = input() --- Also, you might want to include all the vowels and use 'in' instead of '=='. --- if i in 'aeiou': --- https://code.sololearn.com/cEBgsEN1Vw37/?ref=app

Vowels program making #your code goes here s = str(input('')) vowels = 0 for i in s: if i == 'a': vowels += 1 if i == 'e': vowels += 1 if i == 'u': vowels += 1 if i == 'ü': vowels += 1 if i == 'o': vowels += 1 if i == 'ö': vowels += 1 if i == 'ı': vowels += 1 if i == 'i': vowels += 1 else: pass print(vowels)

sample_text = input() vowels = "aeiou" total = 0 for letter in sample_text: counter = 0 while letter != vowels[counter]: counter += 1 if counter == 4: break if letter == vowels[counter]: total += 1 print(total)

This is my code: n = str(input()) from collections import Counter counter = Counter(n) a=(counter['a']) e=(counter['e']) i=(counter['i']) o=(counter['o']) u=(counter['u']) print(a+e+i+o+u) OR SIMPLER: n = str(input()) a=(n.count('a')) e=(n.count('e')) i=(n.count('i')) o=(n.count('o')) u=(n.count('u')) print(a+e+i+o+u)
