Program to remove vowels from a String

Given a string, remove the vowels from the string and print the string without vowels.

Examples:

Input : welcome to geeksforgeeks
Output : wlcm t gksfrgks

Input : what is your name ?
Output : wht s yr nm ?

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

A loop is designed that goes through a list composed of the characters of that string, removes the vowels and then joins them.

C++

// C++ program to remove vowels from a String 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
string remVowel(string str)  
{ 
    vector<char> vowels = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 
                           'A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U'}; 
      
    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)  
    { 
        if (find(vowels.begin(), vowels.end(), 
                      str[i]) != vowels.end())  
        { 
            str = str.replace(i, 1, ""); 
            i -= 2; 
        } 
    } 
    return str; 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main()  
{ 
    string str = "GeeeksforGeeks - A Computer"
                 " Science Portal for Geeks"; 
    cout << remVowel(str) << endl; 
  
    return 0; 
}

Java

// Java program to remove vowels from a String 
  
import java.util.Arrays; 
import java.util.List; 
  
class Test 
{     
    static String remVowel(String str) 
    { 
         Character vowels[] = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u','A','E','I','O','U'}; 
           
         List<Character> al = Arrays.asList(vowels); 
           
         StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(str); 
           
         for (int i = 0; i < sb.length(); i++) { 
              
             if(al.contains(sb.charAt(i))){ 
                sb.replace(i, i+1, "") ; 
                i--; 
             } 
        } 
           
          
        return sb.toString(); 
    } 
    // Driver method to test the above function 
    public static void main(String[] args)  
    { 
        String str = "GeeeksforGeeks - A Computer Science Portal for Geeks"; 
          
        System.out.println(remVowel(str)); 
    } 
} 

Python

# Python program to remove vowels from a string 
# Function to remove vowels 
def rem_vowel(string): 
    vowels = ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')  
    for x in string.lower(): 
        if x in vowels: 
            string = string.replace(x, "") 
              
    # Print string without vowels 
    print(string) 
  
# Driver program 
string = "GeeksforGeeks - A Computer Science Portal for Geeks"
rem_vowel(string) 

C#

// C# program to remove vowels from a String

We can improve the above solution by using Regular Expressions.

C++

// C++ program to remove vowels from a String 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
string remVowel(string str) 
{ 
    regex r("[aeiouAEIOU]");  
      
    return regex_replace(str, r, ""); 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main()  
{ 
    string str = "GeeeksforGeeks - A Computer Science Portal for Geeks";      
    cout << (remVowel(str)); 
    return 0; 
}

Java

// Java program to remove vowels from a String 
import java.util.Arrays; 
import java.util.List; 
  
class GFG 
{     
    static String remVowel(String str) 
    { 
         return str.replaceAll("[aeiouAEIOU]", ""); 
    } 
      
    // Driver Code 
    public static void main(String[] args)  
    { 
        String str = "GeeeksforGeeks - A Computer Science Portal for Geeks";         
        System.out.println(remVowel(str)); 
    } 
} 

C#

// C# program to remove vowels from a String 
using System; 
using System.Text.RegularExpressions; 
  
class GFG 
{  
    static String remVowel(String str) 
    { 
        str = Regex.Replace(str, "[aeiouAEIOU]", ""); 
        return str; 
    } 
      
    // Driver code 
    public static void Main()  
    { 
        String str = "GeeeksforGeeks - A Computer Science Portal for Geeks";      
        Console.WriteLine(remVowel(str)); 
    } 
}
