Python: Given a sentence, print the sentence with all vowels removed.

Question

For example:
x='the quick brown fox'
ı want to print this: th qck brwn fx

my code:

x='the quick brown fox'
y=x.split()
list1=[a,e,ı,i,o,ö,u,ü] # letters in list are string
for i in y:
for k in i:
if k in list1:
u=i.index(k)
l=i.replace(i[u],"")
print(l)

my codes result: th qick quck brwn fx
when the word has more than one vowel its not giving me what ı want. How can ı fix this?

Answer 1

No need to break sentence into a list of words and then loop over char of each word in the list.

Simply loop over the string.

Answer 2

The reason that the following vowel is not removed is because when you use

i.replace(i[u], ")

The position of the letters shifted.

So after u, the next processed char jumps to c

Same for those not noticeable, for example

after e, it should check space, but space is skipped, and q is checked instead.

So, instead of modifying the original string in the for loop,

you should create a template empty string before for loop.

result = ""

Then, in for loop, when the char is not vowel, the char is pushed to string

result = result + i

After the for loop, prints the result string.

Answer 3

Gordon afaik replace() method returns a copy of a string instead of doing changes to the original one.

So I think the real problem here was that, everytime the word was printing without the vovel but next time again complete word was checked for other vovel.

Answer 4

I don't know how you even got your expected output as according the code you gave here, it should print the word "quick" twice by removing 2 different vovels each time.

Answer 5

Arsenic thanks for pointing out my mistake. Yes Python replace() do not modify original string. I mixed up Python replace() and JavaScript replace() sorry.

As replace() is used to replace all occurrence, the code snippet can be as simple as

for vowel in "aeiou" :
x = x.replace(vowel, "")

print(x)
