How many vowels are there?In this code golf challenge, you must write a program that looks at the string:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elitIt should output the number of vowels that the string contains. Your program must determine this, you are not allowed to hard-code your solution.
Please format your solution as the language name followed by the number of characters that your solution contains before writing out the solution in a code block.
Good luck! |

Lua, 341 chars.
a="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elit"b=true;c={["a"]=b,["e"]=b,["i"]=b,["o"]=b,["u"]=b}d=0;for i in a:gmatch(".") do d = (c[i] and d + 1) or d; end;print(d)

a="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elit"d=0;for i in a:gmatch("[aeiou]")do d=d+1;end;print(d)

Looks good again!  I've got 262 in Py 2.7 if anyone wants to try and beat that  |

I did a way longer one at 516 characters, but it's a bit more readable.
function VowelChecker(String)
local VowelTable = {"a","e","i","o","u"}
local Vowels = 0
for i = 1, #String do
local Character = String:sub(i,i)
for i,Vowel in pairs(VowelTable) do
if Vowel == string.lower(Character) then
Vowels = Vowels + 1
end
end
end
print(Vowels)
end
VowelChecker("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elit")

Python, 257
v=0
for x in'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elit':v+=x in'aeiou'

I think I have the smallest solution so far:
print(sum(c in"aeiou"for c in "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elit"))
It's in python, (currently) at 252 characters.
This is my first post on this forum, so please tell me if I did something wrong.

i have the smallest solution  Lua 250 print(#('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elit'):gsub('[^aeiou]',''))
if you want one thats smaller by 1 character but also prints all vowels: Lua 248 print(('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis interdum metus magna, sit amet eleifend mi lacinia in. Nullam sodales quis leo porta imperdiet. Fusce turpis est, faucibus et nulla id, porta hendrerit elit'):gsub('[aeiou]','')) |

if you want one thats smaller by 1 character but also prints all vowels: Lua 249 print(('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
