斯威夫特4:

let choppedString = String(theString.dropLast())

在Swift 2中，这样做:

let choppedString = String(theString.characters.dropLast())

斯威夫特4/5

var str = "bla"
str.removeLast() // returns "a"; str is now "bl"

简单回答(2015-04-16有效):removeAtIndex(mystring . endindex .前任())

例子:

var howToBeHappy = "Practice compassion, attention and gratitude. And smile!!"
howToBeHappy.removeAtIndex(howToBeHappy.endIndex.predecessor())
println(howToBeHappy)
// "Practice compassion, attention and gratitude. And smile!"

语言继续着它的快速进化，使得许多以前很好的sos答案的半衰期变得危险地短暂。学习语言并参考真正的文档总是最好的。

使用函数advance(startIndex, endIndex):

var str = "45+22"
str = str.substringToIndex(advance(str.startIndex, countElements(str) - 1))

使用新的Substring类型用法:

斯威夫特4:

var before: String = "Hello world!"
var lastCharIndex: Int = before.endIndex
var after:String = String(before[..<lastCharIndex])
print(after) // Hello world

短:

var before: String = "Hello world!"
after = String(before[..<before.endIndex])
print(after) // Hello world

import UIKit

var str1 = "Hello, playground"
str1.removeLast()
print(str1)

var str2 = "Hello, playground"
str2.removeLast(3)
print(str2)

var str3 = "Hello, playground"
str3.removeFirst(2)
print(str3)

Output:-
Hello, playgroun
Hello, playgro
llo, playground
