Question

To start, define a function called strip_punctuation which takes one parameter, a string which represents a word, and removes characters considered punctuation from everywhere in the word. (Hint: remember the .replace() method for strings.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The code is given below. The punctuation_chars variable contains a list of punctuation to be replaced by the program

Explanation:

def strip_punctuation(word):

   punctuation_chars = ["'", '"', ",", ".", "!", ":", ";", '#', '@']

   for ch in punctuation_chars:

       word = word.replace(ch, '')

   return word

# Testing the function here. ignore/remove the code below if not required

print(strip_punctuation("Hello, how are you. I am good! ,.!#@"))

OUTPUT

Hello how are you I am good
