Question 3:

Write a function that computes the ratio of vowels vs. consonants (????????????????����������������) in a given sentence. The ratio should be given as a floating-point number rounded off to two decimal places. When writing your function, be sure to appropriately cater for the following punctuation marks:

  • apostrophes (')
  • quotations (")
  • full stops (.)
  • commas (,)
  • exclamations (!)
  • question marks (?)
  • colons (:)
  • semicolons (;)

Arguments:

  • sentence (string) →→ sentence required to compute the ratio.

Return:

  • ratio (float) →→ a ratio that describes the number of vowels to consonants: vowels/consonants.

?HINT?

Remember to cater for the white spaces that appear in your sentence.

Expected outputs

vowel_consonant_ratio("This is a random sentence!")==0.62 vowel_consonant_ratio("Thomas! Where have you been?")==0.83
