#Write a program that will take an input string and will yield another (new) string
#which includes only letters andnumbers and removes all other characters
#Your program should then print both the old(input) string and the new one
#after the omissions. Think of how you can do this minimally. 
#Check BIFs that can take in a character/string and decide the type of it
#Look up python String Methods (4.7.1 String Methods) in the documentation
