Last post for this assignment for now - simplified even more.
word = "Almuta$r~id"
window = position = 5
shortAndOmit = "aiou+~"
rest = "_" * window + "".join(letter for letter in word
if letter not in shortAndOmit) + "_" * window
word = iter(word)
for letter in word:
if letter
I just can't leave well enough alone. Down to 14 lines.
More names, less magic numbers.
word = "Almuta$r~id"
window = position = 5
shortAndOmit = "aiou+~"
rest = "_" * window + "".join(letter for letter in word
if letter not in shortAndOmit) + "_" * window
word = iter(word + "+")
How about:
word = "Almuta$r~id"
predecessors = "_" * 5
successors = "".join(letter for letter in word if letter not in "aiou+~")
for index, letter in enumerate(word):
if letter not in "aiou~+":
next = word[index+1] if index < len(word) - 1 else ""
if next in "aiou":
tail = next

That's great.
There is still only one thing that I was not aware of when I asked the
question.
When the double consonant sign "~" is there, it should slo be skipped like
the short vowels. In other words, it cannot appear except in the pre-final
position along with another short vowel.
Is that easy

Oh, I see. I misunderstood the meaning of "followed by". I can fix
that

Dear Tutors,
I needed a program to go through a word like this "Almuta$r~id"
1- a, i,u, and o are the short vowels
2- ~ is the double consonant.
I wanted the program to do the following:
- For each letter of the word, if the letter is not a short vowel, print the
letter with the 5 preceding l
