• it seems that problem is a bit complex, however, it's pointing only one thing

• In C/C++, they are almost same functionality, however, in python, they are different
• Most of legacy code is fine, just fix only few characters regarding '++'

Solution

def is_vowel(letter): return letter in ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'y'] def score_words(words): score = 0 for word in words: num_vowels = 0 for letter in word: if is_vowel(letter): num_vowels += 1 if num_vowels % 2 == 0: score += 2 else: score += 1 return score n = int(input()) words = input().split() print(score_words(words))
