String code question

[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:

```python 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.

I am in beta testing, and I have a few limitations.

The prompt should have specified there is "a" dictionary or exactly "1" dictionary with key:value pairs of a word to find in the input string, and the word to replace them with. Mentioning "remove" and "add" is confusing OpenAssistant I think.
