Return the number (count) of vowels in the given string. We will consider a, e, i, o, u as vowels for this Kata (but not y). The input string will only consist of lower case letters and/or spaces.
My code:
function getCount(str) {
let arrayCount = str.split('');
let vowel = [];
for (let i = 0; i < arrayCount.length; i++) {
if (arrayCount[i] === "a" || arrayCount[i] === "e" || arrayCount[i] === "i" || arrayCount[i] === "o" || arrayCount[i] === "u") {
vowel.push(arrayCount[i]);
}
}
return vowel.length;
}
function getCount(str) {
return (str.match(/[aeiou]/ig)||[]).length;
}
Well, I've felt humbled. The best code solution is just one line. It's beautiful. I learned quite a bit from it, like the .match method and also the included flags /i and /g.
