Python Program that extract words starting with Vowel From A list
When it is required to extract words starting with vowel from a list, a simple iteration, a flag value and the ‘startswith’ method are used.
Below is a demonstration of the same −
Example:
my_list = ["abc", "phy", "and", "okay", "educate", "learn", "code"]
print("The list is :")
print(my_list)
my_result = []
my_vowel = "aeiou"
print("The vowels are ")
print(my_vowel)
for index in my_list:
my_flag = False
for element in my_vowel:
if index.startswith(element):
my_flag = True
break
if my_flag:
my_result.append(index)
print("The result is :")
print(my_result)Output:
The list is : ['abc', 'phy', 'and', 'okay', 'educate', 'learn', 'code'] The vowels are aeiou The result is : ['abc', 'and', 'okay', 'educate']
Explanation
A list is defined and displayed on the console.
An empty list is created.
The vowel string is defined and displayed on the console.
The list is iterated over, and the flag is assigned to Boolean ‘False’.
If the first element of each string begins with characters in the vowels list, the Boolean flag value is set to ‘True’.
This is checked using the ‘startswith’ method.
The control breaks out of the loop.
If the value of Boolean flag is ‘True’, the element is appended to the empty list.
This is the output that is displayed on the console.
