Python string replace not working

Question

Hi. I am trying to replace some characters in python string but it is not working.

I am using this code:

name = abc000
name.replace(“000”,””)

It showed proper output in the python interpreter. Then I tried it in Pycharm by adding the following line

print(name)

but it is not working.

Answer 1

The replace method doesn’t store the altered value in the same variable. You need to store it in another variable and print it.

name=abc000
new_name=name.replace(“000”,””)
print(name)

This should work.
