Did you know that you can loop through the letters of a string? You can with for loops! Let’s loop through our names and count how many vowels are in them.

What to Do:

Let’s try writing a small program to loop through our names and count how many of each vowel are present. To start, let’s create some variables to hold information we’ll need:

full_name = 'Aliy Kimi'
number_of_a = 0
number_of_e = 0
number_of_i = 0
number_of_o = 0
number_of_u = 0

Now, write a for loop to loop through each letter of your full_name variable, and if it matches either the letter a, e, i, o, or u, add a count to the proper variable. When you’re done iterating through your name, print out the total number of each vowel in your name.
