What are the strip() methods in Java?

In Java 11, there are three new methods to remove whitespaces from a string.

  • The stripLeading method will remove all whitespaces from the beginning of a string.
  • The stripTrailing method will remove all whitespaces from the end of a string.
  • The strip method will remove all whitespaces from the beginning and end of a string.
public class StripSpaec {
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        String str = "  Hello World.    \t\n";
        System.out.println("Original String =>"  + str );
        System.out.println( "Use strip to remove all white space at begining and end =>" + str.strip() );
        System.out.println("Use stripLeading to remove white space at begining=>" + str.stripLeading() );
        System.out.println("Use stripTrailing to remove white space at end =>" + str.stripTrailing() );
 
    }
}
