Need to get vowel count of relevant array index

import random
count=0

candidateWords = ['HELLO', 'GOODBYE', 'NAME', 'DAY', 'NIGHT', 'HOUR', 'POTATO', 'BIG', 'SMALL', 'GOOD', 'BAD', 'YES', 'NO', 'HOUSE', 'QUESTION', 'BALLOON', 'CAT', 'DUCK', 'PIGEON', 'POSTER', 'TELEVISION', 'SPY', 'RIPPLE', 'SUBSTANTIAL', 'SNOW', 'MAGNET', 'TOWEL', 'WALKING', 'SPEAKER', 'UNCHARACTERISTICALLY']

def countVowels(candidateWords):
    vowel=['A','E','I','O','U']

    for index in range (len(candidateWords)):

        if vowel in candidateWords[0]:
            count=count+1
            return count
            print(count)
        else:
            return False

When I trying to execute this code part nothing is displayed actually I needed to get count of value of "HELLO" word

the main reason nothing is displayed is because you havent called the function after defining it. there are other mistakes in there too.

here is the correct code to print the vowel count for all the words in the word list:

candidateWords = ['HELLO', 'GOODBYE', 'NAME', 'DAY', 'NIGHT', 'HOUR', 'POTATO', 'BIG', 'SMALL', 'GOOD', 'BAD', 'YES', 'NO', 'HOUSE', 'QUESTION', 'BALLOON', 'CAT', 'DUCK', 'PIGEON', 'POSTER', 'TELEVISION', 'SPY', 'RIPPLE', 'SUBSTANTIAL', 'SNOW', 'MAGNET', 'TOWEL', 'WALKING', 'SPEAKER', 'UNCHARACTERISTICALLY']
vowel=['A','E','I','O','U']

def countVowels(candidateWords):

    for index in range(len(candidateWords)):
        count=0
        for _ in candidateWords[index]:
            if _.upper() in vowel:
                count += 1
        print(candidateWords[index], 'has', count, 'vowels')

countVowels(candidateWords)

You can use the sum function with a generator expression that iterates through each letter of each word in the list and tests if the letter is a vowel:

def countVowels(candidateWords):
    return sum(letter in 'AEIOU' for word in candidateWords for letter in word)
