How do you use the for loop in this code? - string

Question

def binary_string(s):
Write a function that takes a string, converts it to a binary string
where vowels are replaced by 0 and consonants are replaced by 1.
The function should return the binary string.
binary_string("Karen")
'10101'
binary_string("Hello World!")
'10110 10111!'
if __name__ == '__main__':
import doctest
doctest.testmod(verbose = True)

Answer 1

Try something like this. Assuming the name of your string variable is "stringVar".
string binaryString="";
for(int i=0;i<stringVar.Length();i++)
{
if(stringVar == 'a' || stringVar == 'A' || stringVar == 'e') //and so on
{
binaryString[i] = '0';
}
else
{
binaryString[i] = '1';
}
}//end for loop.
print(binaryString);
This should give you the result you are looking for. This is the basic functionality. The rest depends on the language you are coding in.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Since you have not specified language in which you want solution, so i am assuming it to be java(from my side ). Although, algorithm will be valid for all languages.
code
public class SO {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "Karen";
char[] arr = s.toCharArray();
StringBuilder binary = new StringBuilder();
for (char c : arr) {
if(Character.isAlphabetic(c)){
if (isVowel(c)) {
binary.append("0");
}else{
binary.append("1");
}
}else{
binary.append(c);
}
}
System.out.println(binary);
}
private static boolean isVowel(char c) {
if (c == 'a' || c == 'e' || c == 'i' || c == 'o' || c == 'u' || c == 'A' || c == 'E' || c == 'I' || c == 'O' || c == 'U') {
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
output
When input is
String s = "Karen";
then output is
binary = 10101
and
When input is
String s = "Hello World!";
then output is
binary = 10110 10111!
