  • Guest, before posting your code please take these rules into consideration:
    • It is required to use our BBCode feature to display your code. While within the editor click < / > or >_ and place your code within the BB Code prompt. This helps others with finding a solution by making it easier to read and easier to copy.
    • You can also use markdown to share your code. When using markdown your code will be automatically converted to BBCode. For help with markdown check out the markdown guide.

Python: 
def cleanText(text, censorList):
    # your function should replace all censored words in the text with ****
    pass  # replace 'pass' with your function content


theText = "A baby donkey is called an ass not an idiot!"
theCensorList = ["ass", "idiot"]

print(cleanText(theText, theCensorList))
# output should be "A baby donkey is called an **** not an ****!"


# HINT: You can create a loop that goes through all words in the censorList, for each censored word, replace every occurrence of that word in your text with ****

I know there are multiple ways to do this but, I can't understand how they wanted me to do this in their hint.

Python: 
def cleanText(text, censorList):
    for i in censorList:
        text = text.replace(i,"****")

    return text
    # your function should replace all censored words in the text with ****
 
theText = "A baby donkey is called an ass not an idiot!"
theCensorList = ["ass", "idiot"]

print(cleanText(theText, theCensorList))
# output should be "A baby donkey is called an **** not an ****!"

all we do here is loop the censorList and each time replace the text inside with **** 🙂
