chop

chop(string)

Remove the last character from a string.

Examples

  1. Remove the last character from a string:

    julia> str = "Hello, World!";
    julia> chop(str)
    "Hello, World"

    This example removes the last character from the string str.

  2. Handle an empty string:

    julia> empty_str = "";
    julia> chop(empty_str)
    ""

    It correctly handles the case where the string is empty. The result is still an empty string.

  3. Remove the last character from a string variable:
    julia> name = "Julia";
    julia> chop(name)
    "Juli"

    It removes the last character from the string variable name and returns the modified string.

Common mistake example:

julia> number = 12345;
julia> chop(number)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching chop(::Int64)

In this example, the chop function is being called with an argument of type Int64, which is incorrect. The chop function is specifically for removing the last character from a string, so it should only be used with string arguments.
