Algorithm:
1. Initialize an empty string to store the modified string
2. Loop through each character in the string
3. If the character is not a punctuation mark, add it to the modified string
4. Otherwise, ignore it
5. Return the modified string
Sample Code:
def remove_punctuation(string):
modified_string = ""
for char in string:
if char not in '!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~':
modified_string += char
return modified_string
