// Function to remove trailing slashes
void removeTrailingSlashes(char *str) {
    int len = strlen(str);
    
    while (len > 0 && str[len - 1] == '/') {
        str[len - 1] = '\0';
        len--;
    }
}

int main() {
    char str1[] = "/ABC/";
    char str2[] = "/ABC////";
    char str3[] = "/ABC";

    removeTrailingSlashes(str1);
    removeTrailingSlashes(str2);
