Ways to slice a string?
python
Solution
Normally, you would just do:
s = s[:-3] + s[-2:]
The `s[:-3]` gives you a string up to, but not including, the comma you want removed (`"this is a string"`) and the `s[-2:]` gives you another string starting one character beyond that comma (`" a"`).
Then, joining the two strings together gives you what you were after (`"this is a string a"`).
Problem
I have a string, example: ``` s = "this is a string, a" ``` Where a `','` (comma) will always be the 3rd to the last character, aka `s[-3]`. I am thinking of ways to remove the ',' but can only think of converting the string into a list, deleting it, and converting it back to a string. This however seems a bit too much for simple task. How can I accomplish this in a simpler way?
