Question: What is the use of Destructive Method?

Answer: In ruby, we conventionally attach '!' or '?' to the end of certain method names. The exclamation point (!, sometimes pronounced aloud as "bang!") indicates something potentially destructive, that is to say, something that can change the value of what it touches. chop! affects a string directly, but chop with no exclamation point works on a copy. Here is an illustration of the difference.
s1 = "forth"
s1.chop! 
s2=s1.chop
