Here's my string

string str = "a";

Now I use string.Remove()

str.Remove(0);
Console.WriteLine(str);

The character 'a' is still there, why is this?

Strings are immutable. When you have set a string equal to a value, that value does not change in and of itself. Rather, changes are returned in a new string object.

To see your changes, you would write something like

string str = "a";
str = str.Remove(0);

Immutable huh? I'm going to have to look that one up.
