Should it, or should it be "1"? (just removing one, one)

Which "1" did it remove? And did it search the string to find a "1" to remove, or did it remove whichever character happened to be at array index 1?

The one at the end. Subtraction is the opposite of addition. If addition adds a character to the end of the string, it must follow that subtraction would remove a character from the end of the string.

This is how we end up with an endian schism

It should just randomly pick any "1". Add a bit of spice, you know

maybe we removed the last n characters
