java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "23 "

Question

I gave 23 (looks like a proper string) as input, but stil get NumberFormatException. Please point out where I went wrong.

PS I was trying to solve "chef and strings problem" on codechef

Relevent code:

Scanner cin=new Scanner(System.in);
      cin.useDelimiter("\n");
      String data=cin.next();
      System.out.println(data);

      /*
       * @param Q no. of chef's requests
       */
      String tempStr=cin.next();
      System.out.println(tempStr);;
      int Q = Integer.parseInt(tempStr);

Output:

sdfgsdg
sdfgsdg

23
23

Your String has a trailing white space.

int Q = Integer.parseInt(tempStr.trim());
