How to convert an array of characters to String in Swift? Stuck, please help.

Trouble not only for me. joined() didn't work.

functions.swift
// Enter your code below
extension String {
  func transform(_ argument: (String)->String) -> String {
    return argument(self)
  }

  func removeVowels(from string: String) -> String {
    var output = ""
    for char in string.characters {
      if !(char == "a" || char == "A" || char == "e" || char == "E"
        || char == "i" || char == "I" || char == "o" || char == "O"
        || char == "u" || char == "U") {
        output.append(char)
        }
    }
  return output.joined()


  }
}

You just need to return output, you do not need the joined(), you are looping through and returning the output

extension String{

    func transform(_ argument : (String) -> String) -> String {
        return  argument(self)
    }
}

func removeVowels(from value: String) -> String {
    var output = ""

    for char in value.characters {
        if !(char == "a" || char == "A" || char == "e" || char == "e"
            || char == "i" || char == "I" || char == "o" || char == "O"
            || char == "u" || char == "U") {
            output.append(char)
        }
    }
    return output
}

let result = "Hello, World!".transform(removeVowels)
