11,573 PointsOK, I need you to finish writing a function for me. The function disemvowel takes a single word as a parameter and then
What the heck? In Pycharm it is working perfectly. But Treehouse challenge don't accept my solution.
Can you help me,please?
def disemvowel(word):
word = list(word)
string = ""
for x in word:
if x.lower() in ["a","e","i","o","u"]:
word.remove(x)
else:
string += x
return string
print(disemvowel("george"))
