Replace a Character (Solution)

00:00 Okay, here’s the new REPL session with the task: Replace "s" with "x" in a string. I can kind of call it the sentence is, "Somebody said something to Samantha."

00:13 Python has a handy string method for replacing characters in a string that’s nicely, descriptively named. So I can say sentence.replace(),

00:25 and then instead of just one argument here, I’ve got to pass two arguments. The first one is the string to replace, so that’ll be "s". And the second one is the string to replace the first one with, And that should be "x".

00:39 So this is going to give us the solution and the desired output, but think about what the sentence is going to look like after you run this.

00:49 There you go. So it says "Somebody xaid xomething to Samantha." So it did not replace "Somebody" the `”S” at the beginning, or the "S" at the beginning of the name "Samantha".

00:58 And that’s, again, because these are uppercase characters, and the uppercase "S" is different than the lowercase "s". So just another little exercise to keep in mind that uppercase and lowercase are two different characters in programming.

01:12 Okay. But the solution is here. We have "Somebody xaid xomething to Samantha." I wonder what it was.
