Remove Whitespace from String (Strip Methods) Program Code

# Python program to demonstrate strip methods
text = "   Hello World!   \n\t"

print("Original:", repr(text))
print("strip() - removes from both ends:", repr(text.strip()))
print("lstrip() - removes from left:", repr(text.lstrip()))
print("rstrip() - removes from right:", repr(text.rstrip()))

# Custom character stripping
custom_text = "***Hello***"
print("\nCustom stripping:")
print("Original:", repr(custom_text))
print("strip('*'):", repr(custom_text.strip('*')))
print("lstrip('*'):", repr(custom_text.lstrip('*')))
print("rstrip('*'):", repr(custom_text.rstrip('*')))

# Practical example: cleaning user input
user_input = input("\nEnter a string with spaces: ")
cleaned = user_input.strip()
print("Cleaned input:", repr(cleaned))
print("Length before:", len(user_input), "after:", len(cleaned))
