See explaination

Explanation:

def remove_italicized_text(x):

ans = ""

n = len(x) # length of string

i = 0

while i < n:

if x[i:(i+3)] == "": # check for opening italic html tag

i += 3

cur = ""

while i < n:

if x[i:(i+4)] == "": # check for closing italic html tag

break

cur += x[i]

i += 1

i += 4

ans += cur # add the text between two tags into output string

ans += " " # adding a space between two next

ans += cur # add the text again

else:

ans += x[i]

i += 1

return ans

sentence = "Stony Brook"

print("sentence = " + sentence)

print("Return value: " + remove_italicized_text(sentence))

print("\n")

sentence = "I love SBU, yes I do!"

print("sentence = " + sentence)

print("Return value: " + remove_italicized_text(sentence))

print("\n")

sentence = "Hey Wolfie, he's so fine, we hug him all the time!"

print("sentence = " + sentence)

print("Return value: " + remove_italicized_text(sentence))

print("\n")

sentence = "This text has no italics tags."

print("sentence = " + sentence)

print("Return value: " + remove_italicized_text(sentence))

print("\n")
