# Chop and chomp in perl

Just a reminder, so I remember the difference! - chomp is a safer version of "chop" removes any trailing string that matches what perl thinks is a new line)


`
$string = "abcdef";  
chop($string) # $s is now f, $string is now abcde  
chomp($string) # $string is still now abcde  
  
$string = "abcdefn";  
chomp($string) # $string is now abcdef  
`
