Expert Solution
Code Explanation

For this code

Python do have a method named ".strip" which can trim the string from [start : end] 
But as conditions : 

  • program should work in while loops
  • .strip method not to be used
  • it should eliminate space, newline and tab 

For this code we must use conditions to check starting and end of the string else we will copy whole string into new variable.
