Python String lstrip() Method

The method lstrip() returns a copy of the string in which all chars have been stripped from the beginning of the string (default whitespace characters).

The syntax of the method is: str.rstrip([chars])

Below is the python program to demonstrate the lstrip() function:

str = "The Best Learning Resource for Online Education";
print (str.lstrip())
str = "****The Best Learning Resource for Online Education****";
print (str.lstrip('*'))

When we run above the program, the outcome is as follows:

The Best Learning Resource for Online Education
The Best Learning Resource for Online Education****
