copied!<p>I'm not sure I completely understand the issue but here are a couple of examples on how you can move a character within a sequence of characters.</p> <h1>Moving Character To Index</h1> <pre><code>def move_char_index(chars, char, new_index): # Convert character sequence to list type. char_list = list(chars) # Get the current index of the target character. old_index = char_list.index(char) # Remove the target character from the character list. char = char_list.pop(old_index) # Insert target character at a new location. char_list.insert(new_index, char) # Convert character list back to str type and return. return ''.join(char_list) </code></pre> <p><strong>Examples:</strong></p> <pre><code>chars = 'th i s. i s. a. n i c ^e . s t r i ng.' char = '^' # Move character to the end of the string. print move_char_index(chars, char, len(chars)) # Result: th i s. i s. a. n i c e . s t r i ng.^ # Move character to the start of the string. print move_char_index(chars, char, 0) # Result: ^th i s. i s. a. n i c e . s t r i ng. </code></pre> <h1>Moving Character By Increment</h1> <pre><code>def move_char_by_increment(chars, char, increment): # Convert character sequence to list type. char_list = list(chars) # Get the current index of the target character. old_index = char_list.index(char) # Remove the target character from the character list. char = char_list.pop(old_index) # Insert target character at a new location. new_index = old_index + increment char_list.insert(new_index, char) # Convert character list back to str type and return. return ''.join(char_list) </code></pre> <p><strong>Examples:</strong></p> <pre><code>chars = 'th i s. i s. a. n i c ^e . s t r i ng.' char = '^' # Move character forward by 1. print move_char_by_increment(chars, char, 1) # Result: th i s. i s. a. n i c e^ . s t r i ng. # Move character backward by 1. print move_char_by_increment(chars, char, -1) # Result: th i s. i s. a. n i c ^ e . s t r i ng. </code></pre>
