Question

I want the function to return two types of value, string and integer when counting vowels in a word. Upon invoking I’m getting only the y value, but not the x. Can you explain why is this happening?

def cnt_vow(s):
    x = 0
    y = ''
    for char in s:
        if char in 'aeuio':
            y = y + char
            x = x + 1

    return y 
    return x

cnt_vow('hello')

expected: 'eo', 2

was: 'eo'

Answer 1

If you want both, try returning a tuple

return x,y

return always leaves the current function, so code after it will never be executed.
