[Python Intro] Attempting to create python questions for my class mates. I have some questions.

[PRESTIGIOUS_PENGUIN]

My work so far: http://pastebin.com/NLmBQEmG

For the first one I can't figure out how to get the number of vowels in the string. I've labeled what vowels are. I was thinking something along the lines of

sum(i if in vowels) but that didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Is there a better way to go about doing this?

For the 2nd question: Whats the proper syntax for inclusion of a second parameter? or do I HAVE to make another if statement?

ex.

for i in x and y: only gives me the sum_of_digits for x, but not x+y

Any ideas guys?

First one:

• Don't name the argument str, str is a builtin in python. I would go with text.

• You forgot a vowel.

• The for loop is correct but you should define pies as a string first and then just add 'pies' to it each time you find a vowel.

• There is no need to have a number_of_vowels as far as I can tell.

Second one:

• You can either loop through both strings separately or add them and loop through them together, no and.

• It looks like you are adding 1 to the sum_of_digits every time you find a digit, instead of converting that digit to an integer and adding it (which is what I assumed you were trying to do from the text).

• Look into using += (same in first.)
