Count the vowels

Write count_vowels(text) returning how many of the letters a, e, i, o, u appear, upper or lower case.

def count_vowels(text):
    count = 0
    for ch in text:
        if ch in "aeiou":
            count = count + 1
    return count

Run adds print(count_vowels("AEIOU")) after your code, to try it.

Stuck on the idea rather than the code? The Strings lesson walks through it.
