Note:
The vowels does not include the letter "y".

 

Solution:

first attempt:  failed one case. 

class Solution {
    public String reverseVowels(String s) {
        
        if(s ==null|| s.length()==0){
            return null;
        }
        
        
        String tmp = "";
        
        for(int i = 0 ; i<s.length(); i++){
            
            if(s.charAt(i)=='a'||s.charAt(i)=='e'||s.charAt(i)=='i'||s.charAt(i)=='o'||s.charAt(i)=='u'||s.charAt(i)=='A'||s.charAt(i)=='E'||s.charAt(i)=='I'||s.charAt(i)=='O'||s.charAt(i)=='U')
                tmp = tmp+s.charAt(i);
        }
        
        int k = tmp.length()-1;
        
        String res = "";
      for(int i = 0; i<s.length();i++){
          
          if(s.charAt(i)=='a'||s.charAt(i)=='e'||s.charAt(i)=='i'||s.charAt(i)=='o'||s.charAt(i)=='u'||s.charAt(i)=='A'||s.charAt(i)=='E'||s.charAt(i)=='I'||s.charAt(i)=='O'||s.charAt(i)=='U'){
              
              res = res+tmp.charAt(k);
              k = k-1;
          }
          else{
              
              res = res+s.charAt(i);
          }
          
          
      }
        return res;
