3.1.2.11 LAB: The continue statement - the Pretty Vowel Eater

LAB 

Estimated time

5-10 minutes

Level of difficulty

Easy

Objectives

Familiarize the student with:

• using the continue statement in loops;
• modifying and upgrading the existing code;
• reflecting real-life situations in computer code.

Scenario

Your task here is even more special than before: you must redesign the (ugly) vowel eater from the previous lab (3.1.2.10) and create a better, upgraded (pretty) vowel eater! Write a program that uses:

• a for loop;
• the concept of conditional execution (if-elif-else)
• the continue statement.

Your program must:

• ask the user to enter a word;
• use userWord = userWord.upper() to convert the word entered by the user to upper case; we'll talk about the so-called string methodsand the upper() method very soon - don't worry;
• use conditional execution and the continue statement to "eat" the following vowels A, E, I, O, U from the inputted word;
• assign the uneaten letters to the wordWithoutVovels variable and print the variable to the screen.

Look at the code in the editor. We've created wordWithoutVovels and assigned an empty string to it. Use concatenation operation to ask Python to combine selected letters into a longer string during subsequent loop turns, and assign it to the wordWithoutVovels variable.

Test your program with the data we've provided for you.

# Prompt the user to enter a word

for letter in userWord:

# Complete the body of the loop.

# Print the word assigned to wordWithoutVowels.
