OK, I need you to finish writing a function for me. The function disemvowel takes a single word as a parameter and then

Hello,

I'm not sure how to solve this question, can someone please help or point me in the right direction?

Thank you,

disemvowel.py 
def disemvowel(word):
    for word in disemvowel:
        word.remove(["a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U"])
    return word

Here are a few hints:

  • the argument is a string, but strings do not have a "remove" method
  • you could convert the string into a list (and convert it back later)
  • you could also possibly make use of the "replace" method that strings have
  • with either approach, you'll probably need a loop to work with each letter one at a time
