String Class stripLeading() Method in Java With Examples
String Class stripLeading() method is used to strip leading whitespaces from the string i.e stripLeading() method removes all the whitespaces only at the starting of the string.
Example:
Input:
String name = " kapil ";
System.out.println("#" + name + "#);
System.out.println("#" + name.stripLeading());
Output:
# kapil #
#kapil # // Leading whitespaces are removed Syntax:
public String stripLeading()
Returns: The string after removing all the whitespaces at the start of the string.
Note: Like the stripTrailing() method in java, we have strip() (removes leading and trailing whitespace) and stripLeading() (removes the only leading whitespace).
Below is the implementation of the problem statement:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate the usage of// stripLeading() method in comparison to// other methods class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // creating a string String str = " Hello, World "; // print the string without any function System.out.println("String is"); System.out.println("#" + str + "#"); System.out.println(); // using strip() method System.out.println("Using strip()"); System.out.println("#" + str.strip() + "#"); System.out.println(); // using stripLeading() method System.out.println("Using stripLeading()"); System.out.println("#" + str.stripLeading() + "#"); System.out.println(); // using stripTrailing() method System.out.println("Using stripTrailing()"); System.out.println("#" + str.stripTrailing() + "#"); }} |
Output:
String is # Hello, World # Using strip() #Hello, World# Using stripLeading() #Hello, World # Using stripTrailing() # Hello, World#
