punctuation_chars = ["'", '"', ",", ".", "!", ":", "; ", '#', '@']

def strip_punctuation (strWord):

for charPunct in punctuation_chars:

strWord = strWord. replace (charPunct, "")

return strWord

Explanation:

The function is defined with a single argument.

A for loop is ran to check each character of the the word.

If a punction mark is present as a character in the word, it is removed.

The same word is returned but without the punctuation marks.
