Python String removesuffix()

Python String removesuffix() method

Python String removesuffix() method removes the specified suffix from the string, if the string ends with the specified suffix value, and returns the resulting string.

If the string does not end with the specified suffix, then the removesuffix() method returns a copy of the original string.

Consider that given string is in x.

x = "HelloWorld"

Then the return value of x.removesuffix("World") is

"Hello"

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use string removesuffix() method to remove the specified suffix from the string.

Syntax of removesuffix() method

The syntax of string removesuffix() method is:

str.removesuffix(suffix) 

You can read the above expression as: If the string str, remove suffix from the end of the string, if the string ends with the specified suffix value.

Examples

1. Remove the suffix "World" from the string in Python

In the following example, we are given a string in my_string. In this string, we have to remove the suffix value "World" from the string.

Call removesuffix() on my_string, and pass the suffix value "World" as argument.

Python Program

my_string = "HelloWorld"
output_string = my_string.removesuffix("World")
print(output_string)

Output

Hello

2. Remove the suffix "Apple" form the string in Python

In the following example, we are give a string in my_string. In this string, we have to remove the suffix value "Apple" from the string.

Call removesuffix() on my_string, and pass the suffix value "Apple" as argument.

Python Program

my_string = "HelloWorld"
output_string = my_string.removesuffix("Apple")
print(output_string)

Output

HelloWorld

Since the original string "HelloWorld" does not end with the suffix value "Apple", removesuffix() returned a copy of the original string.
