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#
