Given a string, remove the punctuation from the string if the given character is a punctuation character as classified by the current C locale. The default C locale classifies these characters as punctuation:
!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;?@[\]^_`{|}~
Examples:
Input : %welcome' to @geeksforgeek<s Output : welcome to geeksforgeeks Input : Hello!!!, he said ---and went. Output : Hello he said and went
A loop is designed that goes through a list composed of the characters and punctuations of that string, removes the punctuation and then joins them.
C++
// CPP program to remove punctuation from a given string #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { // input string std::string str = "Welcome???@@##$ to#$% Geeks%$^for$%^&Geeks"; for (int i = 0, len = str.size(); i < len; i++) { // check whether parsing character is punctuation or not if (ispunct(str[i])) { str.erase(i--, 1); len = str.size(); } } // print string without punctuation std::cout << str; return 0; } |
Java
// Java program to remove punctuation from a given string public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { // input string String str = "Welcome???@@##$ to#$% Geeks%$^for$%^&Geeks"; // similar to Matcher.replaceAll str = str.replaceAll("\\p{Punct}",""); System.out.println(str); } } // This code is contributed by Gaurav Miglani |
Python
# Python program to remove punctuation from a given string # Function to remove punctuation def Punctuation(string): # punctuation marks punctuations = '''!()-[]{};:'"\,<>./?@#$%^&*_~''' # traverse the given string and if any punctuation # marks occur replace it with null for x in string.lower(): if x in punctuations: string = string.replace(x, "") # Print string without punctuation print(string) # Driver program string = "Welcome???@@##$ to#$% Geeks%$^for$%^&Geeks"Punctuation(string) |
C#
// C# program to remove punctuation // from a given string using System; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; class GFG { public static void Main() { // input string String str = "Welcome???@@##$ to#$% Geeks%$^for$%^&Geeks"; // similar to Matcher.replaceAll str = Regex.Replace(str,@"[^\w\d\s]",""); Console.Write(str); } } // This code is contributed // by 29AjayKumar |
