This is probably a very bad try but I don't know how to put more characters in the remove command so I had to put many of them. Still doesen't work though. And is it the right thing braking up the word into a list first?
def disemvowel(word):
word_list = list(word)
try:
word_list.remove('a')
word_list.remove('e')
word_list.remove('i')
word_list.remove('u')
word_list.remove('o')
word_list.remove('A')
word_list.remove('E')
word_list.remove('I')
word_list.remove('O')
word_list.remove('U')
except ValueError:
pass
word = ''.join(word_list)
return word

def disemvowel(word):
# make the word a list of letters
word = list(word)
# iterate over a list of wovels (both small and capital letters as instructed in the exercise)
for l in ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U"]:
# remove all instances of l in word with a while loop and remove() function within the for loop
while l in word:
word.remove(l)
# join the elements of the list word back into a string
word = "".join(word)
# return the disemwoveled word
return word
