In this shot, we will learn about the `remove_punct()` method in Python.

The **`remove_punct()` method** is an in-built function that is provided by the `clean-text` library in Python.

We can use it to clean our data, which has punctuations in it.

We need to install the `clean-text` from `pip` to use it in our programs:
```
pip install clean-text
```

#    
## Syntax
```
from cleantext import clean

clean(text, no_punct=True, replace_with_punct="$")
```

Where:
* `clean` is the function that is provided by the `cleantext`.
* To remove the punctuations, we will set the parameter `no_punct` to `True`. Then, it will call the in-built `remove_punct()` function.
* If we want to replace the punctuations instead of removing them, we can use the parameter `replace_with_punct`. Here, we will pass `$` to replace the punctuations in the given text.

Let's look at an example.

## Code example

#import the clean function
from cleantext import clean

text = "This, is a sample text! which [has) punctuations."

#display the text after removing the punctuations
print(clean(text, no_punct=True))

example

## Code explanation

* **Line 2**: We import the `clean` function, which is provided by the `cleantext` module.
* **Line 4**: We provide the text that contains the punctuation.
* **Line 7**: We remove the punctuations from the given `text` with the `clean` function.

We can replace the punctuations with a string, instead of removing them. We will replace the punctuations with the character `$` in the following code. We will do this by passing a character or string to the `replace_with_punct` parameter:

#import the clean function
from cleantext import clean

text = "This, is a sample text! which [has) punctuations."

#display the text after removing the punctuations
print(clean(text, no_punct=True, replace_with_punct="$"))
