x.lstrip('-')

Answer 2

n = -50
print(abs(n)

Answer 3

print(your_string[1:])

Answer 4

# Hi! One way is to use replace:

>>> s = "-40"
>>> p = s.replace('-', '')
>>> print(p)
40

Answer 5

MONSTER MIKE ,

this issue may be also solved in a different way.

▪︎where is this string "-50" coming from?
▪︎do you get a string that comes from an input or from a file?
▪︎or is it created by a calculation and then converted to string?

thanks!

Answer 6

Hi Mike!
There are many ways to remove minus from a string.
I think using slicing method is a better option .

num = "-50"
print(num[1:])
It returns all characters from 2nd character.
