rstrip()

rstrip is a string helper. You call it on text like "Asha" or "banana". It gives a new string (or a number/True-False). The old string does not change unless you assign the result back.

rstrip() — output — Asha.

Fresher trap: writing s.rstrip() and expecting s to update. Strings are immutable. Write s = s.rstrip(...) if you need the new value (when it returns a string).

Exam tip

Call rstrip on one real word and say what prints.

Example

# rstrip()
print("Asha  ".rstrip())

rstrip() — output: Asha.

Short notes

Defrstrip works on str.
Rulerstrip usually returns a new string.
Traprstrip does not change the original string in place.
