Learn Java by Example: Java Program to Remove All Whitespaces from a String

Java Program to Remove All Whitespaces from a String

In this program, you’ll learn to remove all whitespaces in a given string using regular expressions in Java.

 


Example 1: Program to Remove All Whitespaces


public class Whitespaces{

    public static void main(String[] args){
        String sentence = "T    his is b  ett     er.";
        System.out.println("Original sentence: " + sentence);

        sentence = sentence.replaceAll("\s", "");
        System.out.println("After replacement: " + sentence);
    }
}

Output

Original sentence: T    his is b  ett     er.
After replacement: Thisisbetter.

In the aboe program, we use String’s replaceAll() method to remove and replace all whitespaces in the string sentence.

We’ve used regular expression \s that finds all white space characters (tabs, spaces, new line character, etc.) in the string. Then, we replace it with "" (empty string literal).


Example 2: Take string from users and remove the white space


import java.util.Scanner;

class Main{
  public static void main(String[] args){

    // create an object of Scanner
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter the string");

    // take the input
    String input = sc.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Original String: " + input);

    // remove white spaces
    input = input.replaceAll("\s", "");
    System.out.println("Final String: " + input);
    sc.close();
  }
}

Output

Enter the string
J  av  a-  P rog  ram  m ing
Original String: J  av  a-  P rog  ram  m ing
Final String: Java-Programming

Here, the replaceAll() method replaces all the white spaces from the string.

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
