Remove consecutive vowels from string

  • Difficulty Level : Medium
  • Last Updated : 08 Nov, 2020

Given a string s of lowercase letters, we need to remove consecutive vowels from the string

Note : Sentence should not contain two consecutive vowels ( a, e, i, o, u).

Attention reader! All those who say programming isn't for kids, just haven't met the right mentors yet. Join the  Demo Class for First Step to Coding Course, specifically designed for students of class 8 to 12. 

The students will get to learn more about the world of programming in these free classes which will definitely help them in making a wise career choice in the future.

Examples :



Input: geeks for geeks
Output: geks for geks

Input : your article is in queue 
Output : yor article is in qu

Approach: Iterate string using a loop and check for the repetitiveness of vowels in a given sentence and in case if consecutive vowels are found then delete the vowel till coming next consonant and printing the updated string.

C++




// C++ program for printing sentence
// without repetitive vowels
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// function which returns True or False
// for occurrence of a vowel
bool is_vow(char c)
{
    // this compares vowel with 
    // character 'c'
    return (c == 'a') || (c == 'e') || 
           (c == 'i') || (c == 'o') || 
           (c == 'u');
}
  
// function to print resultant string
void removeVowels(string str)
{
    // print 1st character
    printf("%c", str[0]);
  
    // loop to check for each character
    for (int i = 1; str[i]; i++)
  
        // comparison of consecutive characters
        if ((!is_vow(str[i - 1])) || 
            (!is_vow(str[i])))
            printf("%c", str[i]);
}
  
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    char str[] = " geeks for geeks";
    removeVowels(str);
}

    {
        // print 1st character
        System.out.print(str.charAt(0));
      
        // loop to check for 
        // each character
        for (int i = 1; 
                 i < str.length(); i++)
