5)Python Program to Remove Punctuation from a String
Punctuation:
The practice, action, or system of inserting points or other small marks into texts, in order to aid interpretation; division of text into sentences, clauses, etc., is called punctuation. -Wikipedia
Punctuation are very powerful. They can change the entire meaning of a sentence.
-
"Woman, without her man, is nothing" (the sentence boasting about men's importance.)
-
"Woman: without her, man is nothing" (the sentence boasting about women's importance.)
This program is written to remove punctuation from a statement.
See this example:
# define punctuation
punctuation = '''''!()-[]{};:'"\,<>./?@#$%^&*_~'''
# take input from the user
my_str = input("Enter a string: ")
# remove punctuation from the string
no_punct = ""
for char in my_str:
if char not in punctuation:
no_punct = no_punct + char
# display the unpunctuated string
print(no_punct)
