remove last index of the string in c++

To remove the last index of a string in C++, you can use the substr function. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to do this:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {
    std::string str = "Hello, World!";
    str = str.substr(0, str.size() - 1);
    std::cout << str << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Explanation of each step:

  1. Include necessary headers: The code begins by including the necessary headers for using strings (<string>) and input/output (<iostream>).

  2. Declare and initialize the string: The code declares a string variable str and initializes it with the value "Hello, World!".

  3. Remove the last index: The substr function is used to remove the last index of the string. The substr function takes two parameters: the starting index and the length of the substring. In this case, we specify the starting index as 0 and the length as str.size() - 1, which is the length of the string minus 1 to exclude the last index.

  4. Output the modified string: The modified string is then outputted using std::cout. In this example, the output will be "Hello, World".

  5. Return 0: Finally, the main function returns 0 to indicate successful execution of the program.
