    "strings"
)

func main() {
    //This will output "removed"
    res := strings.TrimSuffix("removedtest", "test")
    fmt.Println(res)

    //The input string will remain unchanged as it doesn't contain the test as suffix
    res2 := strings.TrimSuffix("removedtes", "test")
    fmt.Println(res2)
}

Output:

removed
removedtes
