1119. Remove Vowels from a String πŸ”’

Description

Given a string s, remove the vowels 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', and 'u' from it, and return the new string.

 

Example 1:

Input: s = "leetcodeisacommunityforcoders"
Output: "ltcdscmmntyfrcdrs"

Example 2:

Input: s = "aeiou"
Output: ""

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 1000
  • s consists of only lowercase English letters.

Solutions

Solution 1: Simulation

We can directly traverse the string according to the requirements of the problem, and append characters that are not vowels to the result string.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the string. Ignoring the space consumption of the answer, the space complexity is $O(1)$.
