About answer 3 removing only the last  n off string code    if   s empty    amp  amp  s s length  -1       n         s erase s length  -1       Will the if condition not fail if the string is really empty    Is it not better to do    if   s empty          if  s s length  -1       n           s erase s length  -1

If the newline is expected to be at the end of the string  then   if   s empty    amp  amp  s s length  -1       n         s erase s length  -1       If the string can contain many newlines anywhere in the string   std  string  size type i   0  while  i  lt  s length          i   s find   n   i       if  i    std  string npos            break            s erase i

You should use the erase-remove idiom  looking for   n   This will work for any standard sequence container  not just string

All these answers seem a bit heavy to me   If you just flat out remove the   n  and move everything else back a spot  you are liable to have some characters slammed together in a weird-looking way  So why not just do the simple  and most efficient  thing  Replace all   n s with spaces   for  int i   0  i  lt  str length   i         if  str i       n           str i                  There may be ways to improve the speed of this at the edges  but it will be way quicker than moving whole chunks of the string around in memory

The code removes all newlines from the string str   O N  implementation best served without comments on SO and with comments in production   unsigned shift 0  for  unsigned i 0  i lt length str     i       if  str i       n               shift       else          str i-shift    str i           str resize str length   - shift

If its anywhere in the string than you can t do better than O n    And the only way is to search for   n  in the string and erase it   for int i 0 i lt s length   i    if s i     n   s erase s begin   i     For more newlines than   int n 0  for int i 0 i lt s length   i         if s i     n            n     we increase the number of newlines we have found so far      else          s i-n  s i           s resize s length  -n    to delete only once the last n elements witch are now newlines   It erases all the newlines once
