Python Learning: removing whitespace

Remove Blank

Remove trailing blanks

Make sure that the trailing string is empty, using Rstrip ();

Delete whitespace at the beginning of the string, using Lstrip ();

Delete whitespace at both ends of the string, using strip ()

Code:

>>>favorite_language = ' python '

>>>favorite_language

' Python '

>>>favorite_language.rstrip ()

' Python '

>>>favorite_language

' Python '

Note: After calling the method Rstrip () on the variable favorite_language, the extra space is removed. However, this deletion is temporary, and the next time you ask for the value of favorite_language, it still contains extra whitespace. To permanently delete whitespace, you must save the result of the delete operation back into the variable.

Code:

>>>favorite_language = ' python '

>>>favorite_language = Favorite_language.rstrip ()

>>>favorite_language

' Python '
