question: public static String stripChar ( String string , char c ) { if ( string . length ( ) == 0 ) { return string ; } if ( string . length ( ) == 1 ) { if ( string . charAt ( 0 ) == c ) { return StringPool . EMPTY ; } return string ; } int left = 0 ; int right = string . length ( ) ; if ( string . charAt ( left ) == c ) { left ++ ; } if ( string . charAt ( right - 1 ) == c ) { right -- ; } return string . substring ( left , right ) ; }
target:  Strips leading and trailing char from given string.
