We've used regular expression \\s that finds all white space characters (tabs, spaces, new line character, etc.)

    // Output
    File extension -> mp4
    
    Explanation: the substringAfterLast method successfully gives the file extension 
    although the FILE_PATH contains two delimiter value well, that’s because the method

    private const val EMAIL = "ajaydeepak07@gmail.com"
    fun main() {
       val username = MY_EMAIL.substringBefore(delimiter = "@", missingDelimiterValue = "Usernmae Not Found")
       println("Username -> $username")
    }
    // Output
    Username -> ajaydeepak07

  Explanation: the above program returns the substring before the appearance of @ character.
