As can be seen from the result, the characters in the middle part were not deleted. The following example demonstrates that characters are deleted as long as they are present in the specified character sequence at the beginning or end: ## Example (Python 3.0+) #!/usr/bin/python3 str = "123abctutorial321"print(str.strip('12'))# Character sequence is 12 The output of the above example is: 3abctutorial3 * * Python3 Strings](#)
