Python - remove last character from string
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to remove last character from the string in Python.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "ABC"2
result = text[:-1]3
print("after: ", result) # ABor:
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "ABC"2
result = text[:len(text) - 1]3
print("after: ", result) # AB
xxxxxxxxxx1
string[start_index: end_index]Where:
start_index- index position, from where it will start fetching the characters (default value is0),end_index- index position, where it will end fetching the characters (default value is end of the string),
We also use len() function to get the string length.
In this example, we use slicing with positive indexing to remove the last character from a string.
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "dirask"2
3
print("String before:", text)4
5
# remove last character from string6
text = text[:len(text) - 1]7
8
print("String after: ", text)Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1
String before: dirask2
String after: dirasIn this example, we use slicing with negative indexing to remove the last character from the string.
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "dirask"2
3
print("String before:", text)4
5
# remove last character from a string6
text = text[:-1]7
8
print("String after: ", text)Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1
String before: dirask2
String after: diras
