Java String Class strip() Method With Examples

Java String Class strip() method returns a string that provides a string with all leading and trailing white spaces removed. This method is similar to the String.trim() method. There are basically 3 methods by which we can remove white spaces in a different manner.

strip() Method: It returns a string, with all leading and trailing white space removed

stripTrailing() Method: It returns a string, with all trailing white space removed.

// method,stripLeading() method,stripTrailing() method

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String str
            = "        Geeks For Geeks Internship    !   ";

        // removing leading and
        // trailing white spaces
        System.out.println(str.strip());

        // removing leading white spaces
        System.out.println(str.stripLeading());

        // removing trailing white spaces
        System.out.println(str.stripTrailing());
    }
}
