Vowel counter in Python.

The program

Press Run to see what it prints. Change anything you like, then run it again.

sentence = "Learning to code is a lot of fun"
vowels = "aeiou"
count = 0
for letter in sentence.lower():
    if letter in vowels:
        count = count + 1
print("Vowels:", count)
print("Letters:", len(sentence.replace(" ", "")))

Vowels: 11
Letters: 25

How it works

1. A for loop can go through a string one letter at a time.
2. letter in vowels is True when the letter appears in the string of vowels.
3. replace(" ", "") removes spaces so that len counts only letters.

Try this

• Count each vowel separately.
• Count the words with sentence.split().
• Find the longest word.
