hey austin, could you try printing vowels after giving it a value?

I would try something like this.

lis1 = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
lis2 = ["b", "d"]
result = list( set(lis1) - set(lis2) )
#result will have, ["a", "c", "e"]

hope this helps.

actually the answer would be ["c", "e", "a"] (optimization thing).
