Return to Question

Several months ago, I asked Program to count vowels, which was asking for a code review of a vowel counting function in implemented in Python.

Since I've been trying to learn Ruby, I decided to reimplement the entire program in it. I'm mainly looking for critiques on:

• Naming conventions
• Best practices for string iteration
• do/end vs {}
• Coding standards and best practices

Of course there are some slight changes in how I implemented this in ruby vs Python. The biggest being simply using a Hash since I couldn't find a suitable replacement for Python's tuples. On a unrelated side note, is there a replacement for Python's tuples in ruby?

def count_vowels(string)
    # Create a function that will receive a string. The
    # function will count each vowel in the string and
    # return a count of all the vowels, whether found or not,
    # each being a `key, value` in a Hash.
    vowels = {"a" => 0, "e" => 0, "i" => 0, "o" => 0, "u" => 0}
    string.each_char do |chr|
        if vowels.has_key?(chr)
            vowels[chr] += 1
        end
    end
    return vowels
end
