import time
import re
import string

pattern = r".*?[\W]+"

# 1 - enumerate and methods

data = [
    "Correct,",
    "i",
    "loved",
    "that",
    "part",
    '"one',
    "has",
    "to",
    "optimize",
    ".....",
    '"',
]

start = time.time()
for i, word in enumerate(data):
    data[i] = "".join((char for char in word if not re.search(pattern, char)))
data = [word for word in data if word]
print(data)
end = time.time()
print(end - start)
print()

# 2 - loops and methods

data = [
    "Correct,",
    "i",
    "loved",
    "that",
    "part",
    '"one',
    "has",
    "to",
    "optimize",
    ".....",
    '"',
]


start = time.time()
for i in range(len(data)):
    if not data[i].isalpha():
        for j in range(len(data[i])):
            if data[i][j] not in string.ascii_letters:
                data[i] = data[i].replace(data[i][j], "")
                break
data = [word for word in data if word]
end = time.time()
print(data)
print(end - start)
print()

# 3 - regex

data = [
    "Correct,",
    "i",
    "loved",
    "that",
    "part",
    '"one',
    "has",
    "to",
    "optimize",
    ".....",
    '"',
]

start = time.time()
new_data = [re.sub(r"[\W]", "", i) for i in data]
new_data = [word for word in new_data if word]
print(new_data)
end = time.time()
print(end - start, '\n')
