str_replace() will match a pattern within a string and replace it with a new string specified by the user. Note: str_replace will only replace the first matched pattern in the string. To match all patterns in a string, use str_replace_all().
Arguments:
string: the string or character object you want to run the function on.
pattern: the pattern to search the string for. (should be contained in quotation marks: "pattern").
replacement: the string you would like to replace the matched pattern with. (should be contained in quotation marks: "replacement").
