Python: Remove leading zeros from an IP address

Python String: Exercise-63 with Solution

Remove leading zeros in IP address.

Write a Python program to remove leading zeros from an IP address.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a function that takes an IP address as input and removes leading zeros from each octet
def remove_zeros_from_ip(ip_add):
  # Split the IP address into its octets and convert each octet to an integer with no leading zeros
  new_ip_add = ".".join([str(int(i)) for i in ip_add.split(".")])  
  # Return the new IP address with no leading zeros
  return new_ip_add ;

# Test the function with two example IP addresses
print(remove_zeros_from_ip("255.024.01.01"))
print(remove_zeros_from_ip("127.0.0.01 ")) 

Sample Output:

255.24.1.1
127.0.0.1
