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:
