Python String translate() Method

The Python translate() method returns a copy of the string in which a specified translation table is used to map each character. We may use the maketrans() method to construct a chart of translation in various formats from character to character mappings.

The syntax of the method is: str.translate(table[, deletechars]);

Return value from String translate()

• The translate() method returns a string in which each character is mapped to the corresponding table character.

Below is the python program to demonstrate the translate() function:

intab = "aeiou"
outtab = "*#@!~"
trantab = str.maketrans(intab, outtab)
str = "The Best Learning Resource for Online Education";
print (str.translate(trantab))

When we run above the program, the outcome is as follows:

Th# B#st L#*rn@ng R#s!~rc# f!r Onl@n# Ed~c*t@!n

Python Remove Character from String using translate() Method

str = 'mama786papa'
print(str.translate({ord('a'): None}))

When we run above the program, the outcome is as follows:
