How to remove the last character from a string?
There are a few ways to remove the last character from a string in Python. Here are three approaches you can use:
- Using the
slicing
method:
string = "Hello, World!"
new_string = string[:-1]
- Using the
rstrip
method:
string = "Hello, World!"
new_string = string.rstrip('!')
- Using the
rsplit
method:
string = "Hello, World!"
new_string = string.rstrip('!')
Note that the rstrip
and rsplit
methods will only work if you want to remove a specific character or set of characters from the end of the string. If you just want to remove the last character, regardless of what it is, you can use the slicing method.
