Question

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

Answer 1

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

def strip_punctuation(strWord):

for charPunct in punctuation_chars:

strWord = strWord.replace(charPunct, "")

return strWord

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is defined with a single argument.

A for loop is ran to check each character of the the word.

If a punction mark is present as a character in the word, it is removed.

The same word is returned but without the punctuation marks.
