Ermias Bibi Here are two possibilities: #1 inp = input() out = "".join(x for x in inp if x.isalpha()) print(out) #2 print(*filter(str.isalpha, input()), sep="") # Hope this helps # Happy coding!

Ermias Bibi nope! lets say it was homework. (just as assumption) On the one hand posting homework is not allowed and mods markForDeletion. on the other hand it is a little brainteaser and appeals to be solved. And post solution.... knowing it is not correct. 🤔🤔🤔haaarg lets post

Oma Falk I don't know what all people tend to say when I give them the solutions. God knows how much of an exaggeration I'd have to face...

Oma Falk The Knighthood given by all those gimme-the-solutions-without-making-me-take-a-bit-of-an-effort people makes me feel like a huge hypocrite. I guess that I should stop posting solutions here.
