Solution:

uese rstrip() method

Answer:

def end_zeros(num: int) -> int:
    # your code here
    s=str(num)
    return len(s)-len(s.rstrip('0'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("Example:")
    print(end_zeros(0))

• [attention!]:
  0 is not a number anymore. Instead, it is a string right now.
  The mistake I confront was that I didnot put single quotes around it, which resulted in unmatch.
