title: check if character is a punctuation
body: <p>Program to check if the first character in the string is a punctuation and if it is, delete that character and return the new word.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static String checkStart(String word){
      char [] punctuation = {'.' , ',' , ';' , ':', '?' , '!' , '"' , '\'' , ')' , '('};
      int i;
  
      for (i = 0; i &lt; punctuation.length;i++){
          if(word.charAt(0) == punctuation[i]){
              word = word.substring(1);
          }    
      }
      return word;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is it not working?</p>
  
  <p>here is it method caller</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static String[] removePunctuation(String [] words){
      int i, j;
  
      for (i = 0; i &lt; words.length;i++){
          words[i] = checkStart(words[i]);
      }
      return words;
  }
  </code></pre>
