// method,stripLeading() method,stripTrailing() method

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String str
            = "        Geeks For Geeks Internship    !   ";

        // removing leading and
        // trailing white spaces
        System.out.println(str.strip());

        // removing leading white spaces
        System.out.println(str.stripLeading());

        // removing trailing white spaces
        System.out.println(str.stripTrailing());
    }
}
