: word[:index] takes everything before the letter, and word[index + len(letter):] takes everything after it. Adding them together effectively "deletes" the unwanted part.

: The while True ensures the code keeps searching until every instance is gone, which is necessary if the letter appears multiple times (e.g., removing "na" from "banana"). Alternative (Standard Python) Copied to clipboard Breakdown of the Code The
