Remove char at specific index - python

Question

I have a string that has two \"0\" (str) in it and I want to remove only the \"0\" (str) at index 4

I have tried calling .replace but obviously that removes all \"0\

Answer 1

def remove_char(input_string, index):
    first_part = input_string[:index]
    second_part - input_string[index+1:]
    return first_part + second_part

s = 'aababc'
index = 1
remove_char(s,index)
ababc

zero-based indexing
