I was told it deletes whitespace but
s = "ss asdas vsadsafas asfasasgas"
print(s.strip())
prints out

shouldn't it be ssasdasvsadsafasasfasasgas?

strip() Python String strip() function will remove leading and trailing whitespaces. If you want to remove only leading or trailing spaces, use lstrip() or rstrip() function instead.
You should perhaps check out the docs for the function. It trims leading and trailing whitespace.
" ss ss ".strip() becomes "ss ss"

Additionally, there is a very powerful tool within the Python interactive interpreter - you can do something like help("".strip) to get a bevy of useful information.
