No need to explicitly print anything; assume that all necessary output operations have been handled.

Accepted Answer

Develop a function to remove all instances of a given character from a string.

Iterate through the string and build a new string excluding the specified character.
Use a StringBuilder or similar data structure for efficient string manipulation.
Handle edge cases such as empty string or character not found in the input string.
