Delete or Change a String in Python with examples

You can't edit or modify strings as they are unchangeable. What this implies is that once you have allocated the elements to a string, you can't make changes to them. You can only reassign the same name to different strings. 

Example

my_string = 'wscubetech'

my_string[5] = 'a'

my_string = 'Python'

my_string

A character in a string cannot be erased or removed. On the other hand, the del keyword can be used to totally remove a string.

>>> del my_string[1]

>>> del my_string

>>> my_string

Code:

a = "wscube"

print(a.replace("w", "j"))
