stripLeading() FUNCTION

stripLeading() Function

The stripLeading() Function is used to remove any unwanted character from the left side of the String with Space by default.

fun main() {

    var x = "   Hello  "
    var y = x.stripLeading()
    println(y+"World")
}

Hello World

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

x = " Hello "

Then we have used the 'stripLeading()' function to remove the unwanted spaces from left side only.

var y = x.stripLeading()

So, the unwanted spaces are stripped out from the left side of the String.
