Replacing instances of a character in a string

Question

This simple code that simply tries to replace semicolons (at i-specified postions) by colons does not work:

for i in range(0,len(line)):
     if (line[i]==\"         


        

Answer 1

How about this:

sentence = 'After 1500 years of that thinking surpressed'

sentence = sentence.lower()

def removeLetter(text,char):

    result = ''
    for c in text:
        if c != char:
            result += c
    return text.replace(char,'*')
text = removeLetter(sentence,'a')
