Hello, I am totally new to programming but thought I would give it a shot. I recently purchased the Python Crash Course book and have run in to a problem in the second chapter. The section that talks about removing whitespace in code to be more precise.
This is the code that I type in, but the result will not trim the extra space. The first group is how it is shown in the book, but when it prints, the ' is not included anywhere. favorite_language = 'python ' print (favorite_language) favorite_language = favorite_language.rstrip() print(favorite_language) In this section, I added double quotations around the single quotation and the word python, however I can't get it to remove the whitespace when it print the word. Is there something that I'm missing? favorite_language = "'Python '" print(favorite_language) favorite_language = favorite_language.rstrip() print(favorite_language) The following is the output I get from the two examples I have above: python python 'Python ' 'Python ' Press any key to continue . . . Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.
