s = "hello\r\n"      # A string with a line terminator
s.chomp!             # => "hello": remove one line terminator from end
s.chomp              # => "hello": no line terminator so no change
s.chomp!             # => nil: return of nil indicates no change made
s.chomp("o")         # => "hell": remove "o" from end
$/ = ";"             # Set global record separator $/ to semicolon
