Remove all whitespace in a string

You can remove all whitespace in a string in Python by using the replace() method and replacing all whitespace characters with an empty string. Here's an example code snippet:

original_string = "   This is   a    string    with    lots  of    whitespace.  "
modified_string = original_string.replace(" ", "")
print(modified_string)

This will output:

Thisisastringwithlotsofwhitespace.

You can also use the join() function with a generator comprehension to remove all whitespaces

original_string = "   This is   a    string    with    lots  of    whitespace.  "
modified_string = ''.join(original_string.split())
print(modified_string)

This will also output:

Thisisastringwithlotsofwhitespace.

Both of the above code snippets will remove all whitespaces in the original string and assign the modified string to the variable modified_string.
