#    
The **`rstrip()` method** is an built-in method in Python used to remove all the specified characters from the right side of a string. 

If no argument is passed, then it removes all trailing whitespaces from the string. The trailing characters are those characters that occur at the end of the string.

## Syntax
```python
string.rstrip(characters)
```

## Parameters
The `rstrip()` method takes in an optional parameter which is either a `character` or `string` to be removed from the end of the string. 

## Return value
The return value is of type string. 

## Code
The sample code below demonstrates how to work with the `rstrip()` method.

sample_string = "My name is Charles    "

print(sample_string.rstrip())

print(sample_string.rstrip("an em"))

print(sample_string.rstrip(" les"))

* In the code above, the first `print` statement will remove all trailing whitespaces because no argument was passed. 

* The second `print` statement takes in an argument, but the characters passed as an argument are not trailing characters, so nothing is removed from the string. 

* The third `print` statement takes in trailing characters as an argument. These characters are removed from the string.
