Answer
The compiler trims incidental whitespace. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Java's compiler automatically removes incidental whitespace from the beginning and end of lines in a text block. This means you can format your text block with indentation that makes sense for your code, without affecting the actual string value.
