Hi guys, I was writing the String trim method in c and this is the code I came up with. I think it does the job of eliminating leading and trailing whitespaces however, I wish the code could be cleaner. Can you suggest improvements.
void trim(char *String)
{
int i=0;j=0;
char c,lastc;
while(String[i])
{
c=String[i];
if(c!=' ')
{
String[j]=c;
j++;
}
else if(lastc!= ' ')
{
String[j]=c;
j++;
}
lastc = c;
i++;
}
Does this code look clean ??
