Code Golf! Alternating Vowels

Anyone up for a round of golf?

Are you fed up of making a machine write code for you? Do you miss thinking through problems yourself? Then you are in luck, this round, I propose adding the rule of no AI use. obviously its a game of honor with no prize, so I shan't be enforcing this, but you'll know... 

Challenge:

Create a function which takes a string as a parameter, and returns the length of thelongest sequence of alternating consonants and vowels. The sequence is broken by having two vowels or two consonants in a row.

M-U5K-3T: When Code Golf Meets Planetary Survival

cover

Picture a dark room. The only light comes from a wall of displays and a blinking prompt that politely informs you:

“LINK TO M-U5K-3T: HIGH LATENCY – DIRECT CONTROL DISABLED.”

Perfect.

You are supposed to be a Rover Commander in the Musketeer Corps. Somewhere absurdly far away, you have an autonomous unit parked on a hostile exoplanet. It wants you dead, but it’s also covered in minerals that could fund a small civilization.

The ore on M-U5K-3T is everywhere. Unfortunately, everything else on the surface is actively trying to kill you.

So, we don't pilot. We script.

Code Golf: Binary encoding!

Time for another round of code golf!

Develop a function that performs a two-step encryption process on a given string:

  • First Step: Reverse Cipher

    • Reverse the entire input string.
    • Relocate the last character of the original string (now the first character of the reversed string) to the end.

  • Second Step: Alphabetic Index Binary Encoding

    • For each alphabetic character, determine its zero-based index in the lowercase alphabet (a-z).
    • Replace odd-indexed characters with '1' and even-indexed characters with '0'.
    • Preserve non-alphabetic characters unchanged.

Example:

encrypt("Hello World!
