00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:02,640
- [Instructor] In this
Self Check exercise,

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,780
we'd like you to try out the methods

3
00:00:04,780 --> 00:00:07,170
that you just learned
in the preceding video.

4
00:00:07,170 --> 00:00:10,200
So we start with the name, Margo Magenta,

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,040
with spaces on either side.

6
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:14,010
And we'd like you to go ahead and strip

7
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:16,080
all of the white space on either side,

8
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:17,200
then only the left,

9
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,740
and only the right white space as well.

10
00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:22,380
So go ahead and pause the
video to give that shot.

11
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:23,830
And come back for the answer.

12
00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:31,120
Okay, let's go ahead and
reveal everything here.

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,690
So as you can see, we have our
name string, Margo Magenta,

14
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:37,610
and I'll just go ahead and execute

15
00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:39,270
all of these at once here.

16
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:41,780
As you can see, when
we execute just strip,

17
00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:44,890
we remove both the leading
and trailing white space,

18
00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:47,360
lstrip removes only the leading space,

19
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,650
and rstrip removes only
the trailing space.

20
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:54,630
None of these calls are
modifying the original string.

21
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:59,250
So if I, for example, simply
go in here and evaluate name,

22
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:02,543
you can see I still have the
original string in memory.
