C++ check and remove last word from a string
Hi there,
How can I remove a particular word in a string only if it is the last one. If the last word is not the one we need then we do nothing.
For example,
"This is a string AND we would remove the last word from it AND"
Here, how can I remove the last AND.

But, what can we do to prevent if the last word is not the word to be removed.
for example, if the string is
string sentence = "This is a string AND we would remove the last word from it"
Then I do not want to remove the AND.

string sentence = "This is a string AND we would remove the last word from it"

Ah, OK so you want to ensure it is the *very* last word? You can do that by checking that 'pos + word.length()' equal the size of the sentence, i.e.
if (string::npos != pos && sentence.length() == pos + word.length()) sentence.erase(pos, word.length());
