Code # 1:
| # Python3 program to demonstrate usage
# lstrip () method using default parameter
# line to be removed string = " pythonengineering"
# Remove spaces sl eva. print (string.lstrip ()) |
Exit:
pythonengineering
Code # 2:
| # Python3 demonstration program
# lstrip ( ) method using optional parameters
# the line to be removed string = "++++ x. ..y !! z * pythonengineering "
# Deletes the specified character set on the left. print (string.lstrip ( "+.! * xyz" )) |
Exit:
pythonengineering
Code # 3:
| # line to remove string = "geeks for geeks"
# The argument does not contain a leading "g"
# So no characters are removed print (string.lstrip ( ’ge’ )) |
Exit :
ks for geeks
Code # 4: Execution error
When we try to delete everything except the line, a runtime error occurs.
| # Python3 program to demonstrate usage
# strip () method error string = " geeks for geeks " list = [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
# prints an error message print ( list . lstrip ()) |
Output:
print (list.lstrip ()) AttributeError: ’list’ object has no attribute’ lstrip’
