string filtering

Question

Hi,
The code supposes to filter vowels and consonants from a given word.
filtered vowels and consonants suppose to be printed as:
word_vowels and word_consonats

code looks as follow:
What is wrong?

word = 'pasjonat'

def alphabet_filter(word):
vowels = ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')
word_vowels = ''
for x in word:
if x in vowels:
word_consonants = word.replace(x, '')
word = word_consonants
for y in word:
if y not in vowels:
vowel = str(y)
word_vowels += vowel
print(word_consonants)
print(word_vowels)
alphabet_filter(word)

Answer 1

I would recommend you to rework the code, so that it gets more readable:

# version 1:
vow = 'aeiou'
word = 'pasjonat'

vowels = []
consonants = []
for char in word:
if char in vow:
vowels.append(char)
else:
consonants.append(char)
print(''.join(vowels))
print(''.join(consonants))

# or version 2 as a comprehension:

vowels = [x for x in word if x in vow]
consonants = [x for x in word if x not in vow]
print(''.join(vowels))
print(''.join(consonants))

thank you Lothar! your code makes the case much easier to understand !
