Challenges

Just the vowels please

+4
−0

Given a sequence of letters, output only the vowels.

Input

  • A sequence of letters
  • This may be a string or any ordered data structure of characters (provided it is consistent between inputs)
  • The letters may contain a mixture of upper and lower case
  • The characters that count as letters for this challenge are A-Z and a-z, specifically ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
  • The input may be empty (it may have length zero)

Output

  • All of the vowels from the input, in the same order, and nothing else
  • This may be a string or any ordered data structure of characters. It does not need to match the input format (provided it is consistent between inputs)
    • For example, you may take input as an array of characters, and output as a string, provided this does not change for different inputs
  • Vowels that appear more than once in the input must appear the same number of times in the output
  • If there are no vowels in the input, the output is empty (a sequence of length zero)
  • The characters that count as vowels for this challenge are AEIOUaeiou
  • Case must be maintained - a vowel that is lower case in the input must be lower case in the output, and a vowel that is upper case in the input must be upper case in the output

Test cases

Test cases are in the format "input" : "output"

"" : ""
"q" : ""
"S" : ""
"Rhythm" : ""
"a" : "a"
"art" : "a"
"atr" : "a"
"rat" : "a"
"rta" : "a"
"tar" : "a"
"tra" : "a"
"emu" : "eu"
"eum" : "eu"
"meu" : "eu"
"mue" : "ue"
"uem" : "ue"
"ume" : "ue"
"AaeEIiOouU" : "AaeEIiOouU"
"aaaaaaaa" : "aaaaaaaa"
"bbbbbbbb" : ""
"abababab" : "aaaa"
"babababa" : "aaaa"
"aLtErNaTe" : "aEae"

Explanations are optional, but I'm more likely to upvote answers that have one.

Thanks to Moshi for pointing out the * I was missing that would allow me to use split instead of match and get down to 24 bytes.

J, 19 char

Solution:

(e.&'aeiouAEIOU'#])

Test examples:

   (e.&'aeiouAEIOU'#]) ''

   (e.&'aeiouAEIOU'#]) 'Rhythm'

   (e.&'aeiouAEIOU'#]) 'a'
a
   (e.&'aeiouAEIOU'#]) 'emu'
eu
   (e.&'aeiouAEIOU'#]) 'aLtErNaTe'
aEae

How it works:

] is whatever value is on the the far right
# uses boolean value on its left to select from value on its right
'aeiouAEIOU' are the characters being searched for
& ties the value on its right to the verb on its left
e. searches for the values on its right within the value on its left 
   producing a boolean result for found / not found

Nothing complicated, just replaces the regex [^aeiouAEIOU] with the empty string.
