Remove last character from string. Swift language

Question

How can I remove last character from String variable using Swift? Can\'t find it in documentation.

Here is full example:

var expression = \"45+22\"
e         


        

Answer 1

The global dropLast() function works on sequences and therefore on Strings:

var expression  = "45+22"
expression = dropLast(expression)  // "45+2"

// in Swift 2.0 (according to cromanelli's comment below)
expression = String(expression.characters.dropLast())
