Finding Consonants? - nlord7 - Feb-28-2019
Im working on this project to get the only two words in a .txt file that have 10 vowels in it and 6 words that have 6 or more consonants in a row (which is unbroken by vowels) I feel i get can the logic for getting just consonants, but dont know where to start with the logic to get them in a row. Any help would be appreciated. Im fairly new to programming so thanks for any help.
fin = open('\\scrabble\words.txt')
print(fin)
def get_a_word():
line = fin.readline()
word = line.strip()
return word
def ten_vowels(word):
num_of_v = 0
for i in range(len(word)):
if word[i] in 'aeiouy':
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 ten_vowels(word):
print(word)
print_two_words()

To find a word with 6 consonants, count the consonants, but every time you run into a vowel, reset the count to zero. As soon as you get to 6 consonants, stop.
