Answer 1

You can try:

abc.chop!  

chop will delete the last character and ! will change the content in place.

Answer 2

试试这个解决方案：

my_string[0..-2]

Answer 3

Negative indices index from the end, -1 is the last character; so to get everything up to next to last character, you'd write

abc[0..-2]

Answer 4

There are many ways to make it.

abc[0..-2]

abc[0..(abc.length-2)]

abc.delete abc[-1]
