How to Remove All Vowels From a String in Java


The challenge

Remove all vowels from the string.

Vowels:

a e i o u
A E I O U

The solution in Java code

Option 1:

public class VowelRemoval {
  public static String disemvowel(String str) {
      return str.replaceAll("[aAeEiIoOuU]", "");
  } 
}

Option 2:

public class VowelRemoval {
    public static String disemvowel(String str) {
        return str.replaceAll("(?i)[aeiou]" , "");
    }
}

Option 3:

public class VowelRemoval {
    public static String disemvowel(String str) {
        return str
          .replaceAll("a", "").replaceAll("A", "")
          .replaceAll("e", "").replaceAll("E", "")
          .replaceAll("i", "").replaceAll("I", "")
          .replaceAll("o", "").replaceAll("O", "")
          .replaceAll("u", "").replaceAll("U", "");
    }
}
