In this code, the strip() method is used to remove leading and trailing whitespace from strings. The strip() method, introduced in Java 11, is Unicode-aware and removes all leading and trailing characters that are considered whitespace according to the Unicode standard.

Analysis of Each Statement:

First Statement:

java

String s = " ";

System.out.print("[" + s.strip());

The string s contains four spaces.

Applying s.strip() removes all leading and trailing spaces, resulting in an empty string.

The output is "[" followed by the empty string, so the printed result is "[".

Second Statement:

java

s = " hello ";

System.out.print("," + s.strip());

The string s is now " hello ".

Applying s.strip() removes all leading and trailing spaces, resulting in "hello".

The output is "," followed by "hello", so the printed result is ",hello".

Third Statement:

java

s = "h i ";

System.out.print("," + s.strip() + "]");

The string s is now "h i ".

Applying s.strip() removes the trailing spaces, resulting in "h i".

The output is "," followed by "h i" and then "]", so the printed result is ",h i]".

Combined Output:

Combining all parts, the final output is:

[,hello,h i]
