Hello everybody. I tested this code and it seemed to work. However, the test doesn't pass. Have I done anything wrong here? Thanks!
def disemvowel(word):
word = list(word)
for letter in word:
if letter.lower() in 'aeiou':
word.remove(letter)
return ''.join(word)

for letter in word:
if letter in "aeiouAEIOU":
my_list.remove(letter)
word = "".join(my_list)
return word

def disemvowel(word):
vowels = ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U')
return ''.join([letter for letter in word if letter not in vowels])
If your not familiar with this syntax check out this course Python Comprehensions

Instead of returning the joined word ''' return ''.join(word) ''' first seperate the list and the word
create new list out of the parameter word and use that to join with the word
def disemvowel(word):
my_list = list(word)
for letter in word:
if letter.lower() in 'aeiou':
my_list.remove(letter)
word = ''.join(my_list)
