vowels = (""" 'A', 'a', 'E', 'e', 'I', 'i', 'O', 'o', 'U', 'u' """)
def disemvowel(word):

def disemvowel(word):
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
letters = list(word)
word_no_vowels = []
for letter in letters:
if letter.lower() not in vowels:
word_no_vowels.append(letter)
word = ''.join(word_no_vowels)
return word
Hope it helps

vowels = (""" 'A', 'a', 'E', 'e', 'I', 'i', 'O', 'o', 'U', 'u' """)
def disemvowel(word):
result = ""
for letter in word:
if letter not in vowels:
result += letter
return result
The thing is that there is no existing remove method on string...
