# Importing required libraries
import pandas as pd
 
# Creating DataFrame having 4 columns and but
# the data is in unregularized way.
df = pd.DataFrame({'Names': [' Sunny', 'Bunny', 'Ginny ',
                             ' Binny ', ' Chinni', 'Minni'],
                    
                   'Age': [23, 44, 23, 54, 22, 11],
                    
                   'Blood_Group': [' A+', ' B+', 'O+', 'O-',
                                   ' A-', 'B-'],
                    
                   'Gender': [' M', ' M', 'F', 'F', 'F', ' F']
                   })
 
 
# Creating a function which will remove extra leading
# and tailing whitespace from the data.
# pass dataframe as a parameter here
def whitespace_remover(dataframe):
   
    # iterating over the columns
    for i in dataframe.columns:
         
        # checking datatype of each columns
        if dataframe[i].dtype == 'object':
             
            # applying strip function on column
            dataframe[i] = dataframe[i].map(str.strip)
        else:
             
            # if condn. is False then it will do nothing.
            pass
 
# applying whitespace_remover function on dataframe
whitespace_remover(df)
 
# printing dataframe
print(df)
