The lstrip() method returns a copy of the string with leading characters removed (based on the string argument passed).
The lstrip() removes characters from the left based on the argument (a string specifying the set of characters to be removed).
The syntax of lstrip() is:
string.lstrip([chars])

- chars (optional) – a string specifying the set of characters to be removed.

# Leading whitepsace are removed
print(random_string.lstrip())
# Argument doesn't contain space
