5,943 PointsI think there's a solution checker bug, this code works locally.
this doesn't pass the python-collections-2/lists/disemvowel test, but it should. At least I think so.
def disemvowel(word): vowels = 'aeiouAEIOU' return word.translate(None, vowels)
print disemvowel(word)
def disemvowel(word):
vowels = 'aeiouAEIOU'
print word.translate(None, vowels)
This also fails to pass the test.
import string
def devowel(word): print word word = string.replace(word, 'a', '') word = string.replace(word, 'e', '') word = string.replace(word, 'i', '') word = string.replace(word, 'o', '') word = string.replace(word, 'u', '') return word
