How do i start this?

I know I need to receive the input of the word, and assign it to something. Then i assume use .remove to remove all instances of vowels in the word. I am just not sure how to start this.

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):

    return word

The basic flow would be:

  • loop over each character in word
  • collect the non-vowels, perhaps to a list
  • join list back into a string to be returned

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
