strip( ) FUNCTION

strip( ) Function

The strip( ) Function is used to remove any unwanted character from the String with Space by default.

x = "   Hello  "
y = x.strip()
print(y)

Output :

Hello

In the above code, we have declared a String ' Hello ' with leading and trailing spaces.

x = " Hello "

Then we have used the 'strip( )' function to remove any unwanted spaces from beginning and end.

y = x.strip( )

Unwanted spaces are stripped out of it.

Now, let us say you want the fill the right blocks with something other than spaces.

x = "***Hello**"
y = x.strip('*')
print(y)

Hello

In the above code, we have declared a String ' Hello ' with leading and trailing asterisk '*'.

x = "***Hello**"

Then we have used the 'strip( )' function to remove any asterisk '*' from beginning and end.

y = x.strip('*')

And asterisk '*' are stripped out of it.
