How to delete all instances of a character in a string in python?

Question

How do I delete all the instances of a character in this string? Here is my code:

def findreplace(char, string):
    place = string.index(char)
    string[pl         


        

Answer 1

# s1 == source string
# char == find this character
# repl == replace with this character
def findreplace(s1, char, repl):
    s1 = s1.replace(char, repl)
    return s1

# find each 'i' in the string and replace with a 'u'
print findreplace('it is icy', 'i', 'u')
# output
''' ut us ucy '''
