How to Count Vowels in a String in Python
Counts uppercase and lowercase vowels in a given string using a set and a generator expression.
def count_vowels(text):
vowels = set("aeiouAEIOU")
return sum(1 for char in text if char in vowels)
if __name__ == "__main__":
sample = "Hello, World!"
result = count_vowels(sample)
print(f"Vowel count in '{sample}': {result}")String helpers in Python: stats, reverse, and remove vowels
Three beginner-friendly Python functions compute text statistics, reverse word order, and strip vowels from a string.
def text_stats(text: str) -> dict:
"""Return basic statistics for a given text string."""
words = text.split()
return {
"characters": len(text),
"words": len(words),
"sentences": text.count(".") + text.count("!") + text.count("?"),
"uppercase": sum(1 for c in text if c.isupp…Browse by section
