Solution

Has More Vowels: Solution

Given a word in English, return True if that word contains more vowels than non-vowels; otherwise, return False. The word will always be a single word, without any punctuation or spaces. It will contain only uppercase and lowercase letters.

If the phrase is over half vowels, it should return True:

>>> has_more_vowels("moose")
True

If it’s half vowels (or less), it’s false:

>>> has_more_vowels("mice")
False

>>> has_more_vowels("graph")
False

Don’t consider “y” as a vowel:

>>> has_more_vowels("yay")
False

Uppercase vowels are still vowels:

>>> has_more_vowels("Aal")
True

We’ve given you hasmorevowels.py, which includes the stub of a has_more_vowels function:

def has_more_vowels(word):
    """Does word contain more vowels than non-vowels?"""

Implement this function.
