String Class stripTrailing() Method in Java with Examples

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#
