How to strip whitespace in Python? #shorts

Whitespace is simply spacing between characters, or before the letters in a string... You get it, it's only the empty space. Now, Python is paying attention to that. Let me explain:

a = " Hi"
b = "Hi"

Variables a and b, in Python, if you check for equality you will see 2 different things, because of the whitespace. But, you can deal with whitespace really easily.

.lstrip() - used to strip left whitespace
.rstrip() - used to strip right whitespace
.strip()- used to strip left and right whitespace

NOTE: the whitespace is only temporarily (for 1 print statement) removed, to remove it permanently you have to assign the variable to another variable with the stripping method that you want.

Example:

Hi
Instead of:
Hi
