Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create a string and then we will remove suffix substring from the created string using the delete_suffix() function and return the result.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to delete suffix substring from the given string is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to delete suffix substring 
# from the given string

str = "Hello, how are you";
substr = "are you";

print "Str before deletion: ",str,"\n";

str = str.delete_suffix(substr);

print "Str after deletion: ",str,"\n";

Output:

Str before deletion: Hello, how are you
Str after deletion: Hello, how

Explanation:

In the above program, we created two strings str, substr that are initialized with "Hello, how are you", "are you" respectively. Then we used the delete_suffix() function to remove suffix substring and return the updated string. After that, we printed the updated string.
