Answer 1

An alternative that will take in a string and an array of unwanted chars

    # function that removes unwanted signs from str
    #Pass the string to the function and an array ofunwanted chars

def removeSigns(str,arrayOfChars):

    charFound = False

    newstr = ""

    for letter in str:
        for char in arrayOfChars:
            if letter == char:
                charFound = True
                break
        if charFound == False:
            newstr += letter
        charFound = False

    return newstr
