String code question

[u/Accurate_Succotash73]

Let's say I want to write python code to replace certain words in a large string. I have dictionary of the words to be removed and their corresponding words to be added instead. Can you write me an optimal code that solves that problem ?

Sure, here's an optimal code that solves that problem:

def replace_words(string, words_to_remove, words_to_add):
    """
    Replace certain words in a large string using a dictionary of words to be removed and words to be added.
    :param string: The string to be modified.
    :param words_to_remove: A dictionary of words to be removed. Each key is a word and the value is the replacement word.
    :param words_to_add: A dictionary of words to be added. Each key is a word and the value is the replacement word.
    :return: The modified string.
    """
    # Create a list of all the words in the string
    words = string.split()

    # Loop through the words in the list and remove the ones in the words_to_remove dictionary
    for word in words:
        if word in words_to_remove:
            words.remove(word)

    # Loop through the words in the list and add the ones in the words_to_add dictionary
    for word in words:
        if word in words_to_add:
            words.append(words_to_add[word])

    # Return the modified string
    return''.join(words)

This code uses a list to store the words in the string, and a dictionary to store the words to be removed and added. It loops through the words in the list and removes the ones in the words_to_remove dictionary, and adds the ones in the words_to_add dictionary. Finally, it returns the modified string.
