Solution

python
class Solution:
    def maxVowels(self, s: str, k: int) - int:
        ans = vowel = 0
        for i, c in enumerate(s):
            if c in "aeiou":
                vowel += 1
            if i < k - 1:  
                continue
            ans = max(ans, vowel)
            if s[i - k + 1] in "aeiou":
                vowel -= 1
        return ans
