Python Program: Counting vowels in a word

Last update on December 21 2024 07:29:16 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program that creates a counter of the vowels in the word "Python Exercises".

Sample Solution:

Code:

from collections import Counter

word = "Python Exercises"
vowels = "aeiouAEIOU"  # List of vowels

vowel_ctr = Counter(c for c in word if c in vowels)

print("Vowel Counts:")
for vowel, count in vowel_ctr.items():
    print(f"{vowel}: {count}")

Output:

Vowel Counts:
o: 1
E: 1
e: 2
i: 1

In the exercise above program, the "Counter" class counts the occurrences of each vowel in the given word. Each character in the word is checked to see if it is a vowel by the program. If it is a vowel, its count is updated in 'vowel_ctr'. Finally, the program prints the vowel counts.
