Count Vowels in String Python

What you want can be done quite simply like so:

>>> mystr = input("Please type a sentence: ")
Please type a sentence: abcdE
>>> print(*map(mystr.lower().count, "aeiou"))
1 1 0 0 0
>>>

In case you don't know them, here is a reference on map and one on the *.


def countvowels(string):
    num_vowels=0
    for char in string:
        if char in "aeiouAEIOU":
           num_vowels = num_vowels+1
    return num_vowels

(remember the spacing s)


>>> sentence = input("Sentence: ")
Sentence: this is a sentence
>>> counts = {i:0 for i in 'aeiouAEIOU'}
>>> for char in sentence:
...   if char in counts:
...     counts[char] += 1
... 
>>> for k,v in counts.items():
...   print(k, v)
... 
a 1
e 3
u 0
U 0
O 0
i 2
E 0
o 0
A 0
I 0

data = str(input("Please type a sentence: "))
vowels = "aeiou"
for v in vowels:
    print(v, data.lower().count(v))
