That way your code will work if there are trailing whitespaces or DOS style newlines.

thnx :D i got AC. but why was the problem occurring ? do they deliberately insert white spaces in the input? can u explain a bit more plz?
Do or do not. There is no try.

They might add extra spaces and on this problem it seems they did. Make your code handle it in case they do. Always read the problem statement carefully.
