# Let's go back to the exercise where we determined what is and isn't a vowel. | |
# With ruby, there's always more than one way to do something and get the same result. | |
# Assuming vowels a,e,i,o,u: | |
VOWELS = ["a","e","i","o","u"] | |
# Write a method that returns whether a given letter is a vowel, using if and elsif | |
def is_a_vowel?(letter) | |
if letter == "a" | |
end | |
# Write a method that returns whether a given letter is a vowel, using case | |
def is_a_vowel?(letter) | |
case letter | |
when "a" | |
true | |
when "b" | |
true | |
else | |
false | |
end | |
end | |
# Write a method that returns whether a given letter is a vowel, using if with no else, all on a single line | |
def is_a_vowel?(letter) | |
true if letter == "a" | "e" | "i" | "o" | "u" | |
end | |
# Write a method that returns whether a given letter is a vowel without | |
# using if or case while all on a single line | |
def is_a_vowel?(letter) | |
letter.include?(/a|e|o|i|u/) | |
end | |
# Write a method that returns whether a given letter is a vowel | |
def is_a_vowel?(letter) | |
VOWELS.each do |vowel| | |
end | |
end | |
# without checking equality, or the use of if, using the array of vowels | |
# Write a method that will evaluate a string and return the first vowel found in the string, if any | |
# Write a method that will evaluate a string and return the ordinal position | |
#(index) of the string where the first vowel is found, if any | |
# hint: remember that every line of ruby code has a return value, | |
#and that a method will return the result of the last operation |
