Deleting consonants from a string in Python

Question

Here is my code. I\'m not exactly sure if I need a counter for this to work. The answer should be \'iiii\'.

def eliminate_consonants(x):
                


        

Answer 1

You can try pythonic way like this,

In [1]: s = 'mississippi'
In [3]: [char for char in s if char in 'aeiou']
Out[3]: ['i', 'i', 'i', 'i']

Function;

In [4]: def eliminate_consonants(x):
   ...:     return ''.join(char for char in x if char in 'aeiou')
   ...: 

In [5]: print(eliminate_consonants('mississippi'))
iiii
