Count the Number of Vowel Strings in Range
# 2586. Count the Number of Vowel Strings in Range
You are given a 0-indexed array of string words and two integers left and right.
A string is called a vowel string if it starts with a vowel character and ends with a vowel character where vowel characters are ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, and ‘u’.
Return the number of vowel strings words[i] where i belongs to the inclusive range [left, right].
### Example 1: ``` Input: words = ["are","amy","u"], left = 0, right = 2 Output: 2 Explanation: - "are" is a vowel string because it starts with 'a' and ends with 'e'. - "amy" is not a vowel string because it does not end with a vowel. - "u" is a vowel string because it starts with 'u' and ends with 'u'. The number of vowel strings in the mentioned range is 2. ```
### Example 2: ``` Input: words = ["hey","aeo","mu","ooo","artro"], left = 1, right = 4 Output: 3 Explanation: - "aeo" is a vowel string because it starts with 'a' and ends with 'o'. - "mu" is not a vowel string because it does not start with a vowel. - "ooo" is a vowel string because it starts with 'o' and ends with 'o'. - "artro" is a vowel string because it starts with 'a' and ends with 'o'. The number of vowel strings in the mentioned range is 3. ```
Constraints: ``` 1 <= words.length <= 1000 1 <= words[i].length <= 10 words[i] consists of only lowercase English letters. 0 <= left <= right < words.length ```
/** * @param {string[]} words * @param {number} left * @param {number} right * @return {number} */ var vowelStrings = function(words, left, right) { const vowels = 'aeiou'; let count = 0; for (let i = left; i <= right; i++) { if (vowels.includes(words[i][0]) && vowels.includes(words[i].at(-1))) { count++; } } return count; };
