Removing characters from strings

Does any one know how I can remove specific characters from a string in python? Example: word = str(input()) # Entered word is “Code” How can I remove a specific character like ‘e’ from the string?

Word = word.replace("a","b") On first argument (a) written word/letter what do you want replace to other word/letter. On second argument (b) written word/letter for which do you want replace a first (a) argument. You can leave empty second argument, if you want delete any object from the string. Example: string = "hello world" #I want to delete space in center of #hello/world string = string.replace(" ","")
