Problem statement

Given a string of lowercase letters in the range ascii[a-z], determine the number of substrings that can be created where every letter is a vowel and every vowel is present at least once. The vowels are ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']. A substring is a contiguous group of characters in the string.

Function

vowelSubstring(s: String) → int

Complete the function vowelSubstring in the editor.

vowelSubstring has the following parameter(s):

1. string s: a string

Returns

int: the number of substrings that consist of vowels only ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u') where every vowel appears at least once

Examples

Example 1

s = "aaeiouxa"return = 2

There are two qualifying substrings:

s[0:5] = "aaeiou"

s[1:5] = "aeiou"

Example 2

s = "axyzaeiou"return = 1

There is only one qualifying substring:

s[4:8] = "aeiou"

Constraints

1 ≤ size_of(s) ≤ 10^5

s[i] ∈ ascii[a-z] (where 0 ≤ i < size_of(s))
