You may not remove last character. But you can get the similar effect by overwriting the last character. For that, you need to move the console cursor backwards by outputting a '\b' (backspace) character like shown below.
Using erase() function 1. Get the iterator to the last character and call the erase() function. 2. Pass the last character's index to the erase() function, which erases the last character.
Use pop_back() Function to Remove Last Character From the String in C++ The pop_back() is a built-in function in C++ STL that removes the last element from a string. It simply deletes the last element and adjusts the length of the string accordingly.
To clear the screen in Visual C++, utilize the code: system("CLS"); The standard library header file <stdlib. h> is needed. Note: If you wish to clear the screen after a cout statement, you will need to "flush" the iostream.

#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout<<"Hi"; cout<<'\b'; //Cursor moves 1 position backwards cout<<" "; //Overwrites letter 'i' with space }
So the output would be
