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.
See this example:
- “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)
Output:
