Tuple of distinct vowels in a list of words in Python
This Python code creates a tuple called distinct_vowels, which contains all the distinct lowercase vowel characters from the words in the words list. Here's how the code works:
- words = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "date"]: This line initializes a variable named words and assigns it a list containing four words.
- distinct_vowels = tuple(char.lower() for word in words for char in word if char.lower() in 'aeiou'): This line of code initializes a variable named distinct_vowels and assigns it a tuple created using a generator expression.
- for word in words: This part of the code sets up the outermost loop that iterates through each word word in the words list.
- for char in word: Within the outer loop, it sets up a nested loop that iterates through each character char in the current word.
- if char.lower() in 'aeiou': For each character in each word, it checks if the lowercase version of char is in the string 'aeiou', effectively identifying lowercase vowels.
- char.lower(): If a lowercase vowel character is found, it includes it in the generator expression.
- tuple(...): This surrounds the generator expression and converts the generated lowercase vowel characters into a tuple.
- print(words): This line of code prints the original words list to the console.
- print(distinct_vowels): This line of code prints the distinct_vowels tuple (which contains the distinct lowercase vowel characters from the words) to the console.
Source Code
words = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "date"]
distinct_vowels = tuple(char.lower() for word in words for char in word if char.lower() in 'aeiou')
print(words)
print(distinct_vowels)
Output
['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date']
('a', 'e', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'e', 'a', 'e')
