Help with finding vowels - nlord7 - Feb-27-2019
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)
