Answer 1

The program written in python 3 which randomly removes one alphabet from a string and returns the new string is written thus:

import random

#import the random module

def rand_minus(s):

#initialize a function named rand_minus which takes on one parmaters, which is a string

minus_1 = random.sample(s, len(s)-1)

#using the sample method in the random module, randomly select alphabets which is one lesser than the number of alphabets passed in.

new =''

#initialize an empty string named new

for alp in minus_1:

#loop through the randomly selected alphabets in the list

new+=alp

#place each alphabet in the empty string created

return new

#return the string in the new variable.

# A sample run of the program and its output are attached below.

old = 'ABEFCD'

print(rand_minus(old))
