how do you start?

I have started using a try block. And then attempted a for loop, but do not know how to proceed using either.

You won't need "try" for this problem. But the loop is a good idea!

The most popular solutions to this tend to use one of two approaches:

  • convert the string to a list, modify the list with the "remove" list method, and re-assemble it
  • modify the string directly using the "replace" string method

The built-in "help" can be useful for looking up syntax details.
