Trimming Whitespace from the Start and End of a String

Removing Whitespace from the Start: `trimStart()`

The trimStart() method of String instances removes whitespace from the beginning (leading whitespace) of a string. This method returns a new string without modifying the original string.

//Syntax
trimStart()

The method does not modify the original string but returns a new string with trailing whitespace removed.

Example :

Using trimStart() to remove leading whitespace:

const str = "   Hello, World!   ";

let trimmedStr = str.trimStart();

console.log(trimmedStr);
// "Hello, World!   "

In this example:

The original string has leading whitespace before the text “Hello, World!”.
The trimStart() function removes this leading whitespace, leaving the rest of the string intact.

Removing Whitespace from the End: `trimEnd()`

The trimEnd() method of String instances removes whitespace from the end (trailing whitespace) of a string. This method returns a new string without modifying the original string.

//Syntax
trimEnd()

The method does not modify the original string but returns a new string with trailing whitespace removed.

Example:

Using trimEnd() to remove trailing whitespace:

const str = "   Hello, World!   ";

let trimmedStr = str.trimEnd();

console.log(trimmedStr);
// "   Hello, World!"
