删除字符串开始及末尾的空白符，并且把数组中间的多个空格（如果有）符转化为1个。

下面python代码里面的第二个和第三个函数都能实现题目的功能，第二个使用了系统的正则库。第一个函数是删除字符串中所有空格。

 

def remove_all_blank(ss):
    '''
    delete all blank in string ss
    :param ss:
    :return:
    '''
    #empty string or None
    if not ss or len(ss) == 0:
        return ''

    letters = list(ss)
    i = 0
    for j in range(len(letters)):
        if letters[j] != ' ':
            letters[i] = letters[j]
            i = i + 1
        else:
            pass
    return ''.join(letters[0:i])

def remove_redundant_blank_with_re(string):
    '''
