Let’s assume that we have a string variable called email , where email =

regex_processor() in the following code.

Can you remove the word "take_out" and print the email address
"hello@scientificprogramming.io" ?

#!/usr/bin/python
import re

def regex_processor(email):

#email = "hello@scitake_outentificprogramming.io ";


# replace 'match ()' with the appropriate function
m = re.match("take_out", email)

# replace '0' with the 'm.start()' and 'm.end()' at the appropriate indices?
if m:
print (email[:0] + email[0:])
else:
print ("No match!!")
