rstrip( ) FUNCTION

rstrip( ) Function

The rstrip( ) Function is used to remove any unwanted character from the right side of the String with Space by default.

x = "   Hello  "
y = x.rstrip()
print(y,"World")

Output :

Hello World

In the above code, we have declared a String ' Hello ' with leading and trailing spaces.

x = " Hello "

Then we have used the 'rstrip( )' function to remove the unwanted spaces from right side only.

y = x.rstrip( )

So, the unwanted spaces are stripped out from the right side of the String.

Now, let us say you want the fill the right blocks with something other than spaces.

x = "**Hello@ir"
y = x.rstrip('ri@')
print(y)

***Hello

In the above code, we have declared a String '**Hello@ir' with some unwanted characters (i.e. '@, i, r') on the right side.

x = "**Hello@ir"

So, we have used the 'rstrip( )' function to remove the unwanted characters i.e. '@, i, r' from the right side.

y = x.rstrip('ri@')

And '@, i, r' are stripped out from the right side of the String.
