function remove_first_occurrence_of_word(str, word)       {
		const index = str.indexOf(word);
    
		if (index === -1) {
				return str;
		}
		return str.slice(0, index) + str.slice(index + word.length + 1);
}


let str = 'c++ c javascript python javascript php';
const word = 'javascript';

str = remove_first_occurrence_of_word(str, word);

console.log(str);
  
  
  
  
/*
run:
  
"c++ c python javascript php"
  
*/
