/**
* Returns a string whose value is this string, with any leading and trailing

* represented by this {@code String} object both have codes
* greater than {@code '\u005Cu0020'} (the space character), then a
* reference to this {@code String} object is returned.
* <p>
* Otherwise, if there is no character with a code greater than
* {@code '\u005Cu0020'} in the string, then a
* {@code String} object representing an empty string is
* returned.
* <p>
* Otherwise, let <i>k</i> be the index of the first character in the
* string whose code is greater than {@code '\u005Cu0020'}, and let
* <i>m</i> be the index of the last character in the string whose code
* is greater than {@code '\u005Cu0020'}. A {@code String}

trim函数功能是去除首位的空格,但是需要注意的是,如果单单自身使用了trim函数,并没有赋值给实例,则,该自身没有去除空格。
例:
String s = "aaaa ";
s.trim();
System.out.println(s+"*");
s = s.trim();
System.out.println(s+"*");
在socket编程的时候,我接收服务端传过来的数据,用了直接trim函数,并没有赋值给自身,因为它已经转成去除空饿的字符串了,导致后端接收的数据一直有多余的空格。
