Following is the code −

const str = 'this is a string';
const countVowels = (str = '') => {
   str = str.toLowerCase();
   const legend = 'aeiou';
   let count = 0;
   for(let i = 0; i < str.length; i++){
      const el = str[i];
      if(!legend.includes(el)){
         continue;
      };
      count++;
   };
   return count;
};
console.log(countVowels(str));
