Remove spaces from String

In this page we will look at how to write a java program to remove spaces from a string. 

Here we will store the string in a character array lets say s and that original string will contain the spaces in between.

Example:- 

  • Input string: “Prep  insta”
  • Output string: “Prepinsta”
Java program to Remove spaces from a string

Algorithm

  • Take string input from user and store it in the variable called “s”.
  • After that convert that string to char array using toCharArray() method.
  • Make a string buffer object and run the for loop start from i=0 to i<c.length.
  • check if( (c[i] != ‘ ‘) && (c[i]!= ‘\t’ )) append that character to string buffer and after that simply print string buffer.

Code in Java (Method-1 without using in-built method)

Run 
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
	  Scanner sc =new Scanner(System.in);
	  String s = "Prepinsta is best";
	  char[] c = s.toCharArray();
	  StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
	  
	  
	  for (int i = 0; i < c.length; i++) {
	     if( (c[i] != ' ') && (c[i]!= '\t' )) {
	    	 sb.append(c[i]);
	     }    	
          }
	  System.out.println("String after removing spaces : "+sb);
    }
}

Output

String after removing spaces : Prepinstaisbest

Code in Java (Method-2 using in-built method)

Run 
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
      StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
	String s = "Prepinsta is best";
	String[] s1 = s.split("[\\s]");
	for (String string : s1) {
		sb.append(string);
	}
    System.out.println(sb);
   }
}

Output

String after removing spaces : Prepinstaisbest

    static StringBuilder removespace2(StringBuilder str){
    for(int i = 0 ; i<str.length() ; i++){
    if(str.charAt(i)==' ' ){
    str.delete(i,i+1);
    }
    }
    return str;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    String str;
    System.out.println("Enter String : ");
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(sc.nextLine());
    System.out.println(removespace2(sb));
