<s>[INST] How to delete a character from a string using python? There is a string, for example EXAMPLE
How can I remove the middle character i.e. M from it. I don't need the code, what I want to know is

Do strings in python end in any special character?
Which is a better way - shifting everything right to left starting from the middle character OR creation of a new string and not copying the middle character?

 [/INST] In Python, strings are immutable, so you have to create a new string.  You have a few options of how to create the new string.  If you want to remove the 'M' wherever it appears:
newstr = oldstr.replace("M", "")

If you want to remove the central character:
midlen = len(oldstr)/2
newstr = oldstr[:midlen] + oldstr[midlen+1:]

You asked if strings end with a special character.  No, you are thinking like a C programmer.  In Python, strings are stored with their length, so any byte value, including \0, can appear in a string.
