I am trying to create a calculator program

I am writing a code that removes '√' symbol from a string and get's the index of it, By using the 'enumerate' function in python, I have already made an functioning calculator but I am improving it.

Code:

cal = input(">>> ")
for i, c in enumerate(cal):
    if c == '√':
        cal = cal[0:i]+cal[i+1:]
print(cal)

Input:

>>> 123√456√789√123

Output:

123456√89√13

I am not getting the right output when I remove a character from the string the enumerate function messes up the index , So I can't figure it out. [My first time using stackover flow Don't judge]

calculator enumerate string split python

As per the comments. You have made the classic error of editing a list whilst looping thru it. The edits will change the list, so the positions will be incorrect.

a good solution is this:

cal = '123√456√789√123'

cal = cal.replace('√','')
cal

Which returns this:

'123456789123'
