Python Forum

Im fairly new to programming, so apologies for the silly mistakes. Im trying to find words with 10 or more vowels in them given a .txt file. However, the output only outputs what my num_of_v == value is. so ill type in 10 and get all the words with 10 characters. 5 and words with 5 characters. I realize this is where my issue is, im just having trouble incorporating the word[i] to get just the words with 10 vowels.

any help would be appreciated. Thanks

fin = open('\\scrabble\words.txt')


def get_a_word():
    line = fin.readline()
    word = line.strip()
    return word


def get_vowels(word):
    num_of_v = 0
    for i in range(len(word)):
        if word[i] == 'a' or 'e' or 'i' or 'o' or 'u' or 'y' and not 'w':
            num_of_v = num_of_v + 1
    if num_of_v == 10:
        return True
    else:
        return False


def print_two_words():
    for i in range(113810):
        word = get_a_word()
        if get_vowels(word):
            print(word)


print_two_words()

You need to have an expression on each side of the or (see here for details)

Also, you should loop over fin directly:

def print_two_words():
    for line in open(r'\\scrabble\words.txt'):
        if get_vowels(line.strip()):
            print(word)
