disemvowel

I can't figure out what is wrong in this code

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]
    empty_space = ""
    for letter in word:
        if letter not in vowels:
            empty_space += letter
        print(empty_space)
    return(word)

Hi Ignor, your just about there, only minor issues. It might help if your empty_space variable was named differently, such as new_string or anything else you can think of. Not sure what the print statement is in there for, I just removed it :)

def disemvowel(word):
    vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U"] # remember to include upper case too
    empty_space = ""
    for letter in word:
        if letter not in vowels:
            empty_space += letter
    return empty_space # return the string you are bulding up, not the original word
