String Class stripTrailing() Method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 02 Feb, 2021

This method is used to strip trailing whitespaces from the string i.e stripTrailing() method removes all the whitespaces only at the ending of the string.

Example:

Input:

String name = "   kapil   ";
System.out.println("#" + name + "#);
System.out.println("#" + name.stripLeading());


Output:

#   kapil   #
#   kapil# // trailing whitespaces are removed

Syntax:

public String stripTrailing()

Parameter: It accepts no parameters.

Returns: The string after removing all the whitespaces at the end 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).

Java

// Java program to demonstrate the usage of
// stripTrailing() 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#
