I want to write a code that allows me to input a phrase and calculate the number of vowels twice. once with the for loop and second with the while loop.I can get the for loop to work but, not the while loop. this is my code and response.


#demo for loop, and while loop




phrase = raw_input("enter your phrase:")

VOWELS = "aeiou"

number = 0




for letter in phrase:
    if letter.lower() in VOWELS:
        number = number +1
    else:
        pass
    print "Number of vowels =",number

raw_input("Press the enter key to continue.")

index = 0
while index < len(phrase):
    if phrase[index] in VOWELS:
        
         index = index +1
         print "number of vowels" ,index



enter your phrase:tell me your name
Number of vowels = 0
Number of vowels = 1
Number of vowels = 1
Number of vowels = 1
Number of vowels = 1
Number of vowels = 1
Number of vowels = 2
Number of vowels = 2
Number of vowels = 2
Number of vowels = 3
Number of vowels = 4
Number of vowels = 4
Number of vowels = 4
Number of vowels = 4
Number of vowels = 5
Number of vowels = 5
Number of vowels = 6
Press the enter key to continue.
