Extra spaces in JLabel...Please help..

Hi guys,
While using JLabel in an applet, while displaying (i used right alignment), there are extra spaces being added to the right of the string being displayed....The string does not contain the extra spaces though because i printed to the terminal window, and it printed fine... Morever, the extra spaces are not always being inserted...I was writing a program to build a calculator, and the extra spaces were being inserted only while displaying the result, and not while taking the inputs....as I am new to java, i cannot identify the problem...Any help would be highly appreciated!! :)

I can post the code if you guys want to see it....

Don't post all your code, create a SSCCE that demonstrates the problem.
SSCCE : Java Glossary

And a sentence ends with one full stop, not three or four.

In the input area (I have used JLabel) if for example, I write :
43 + 53
and then if I press '+', it gives output :
96 +
inserting extra spaces between the result and '+' and thus not giving correct results for my next calculation.

The actionPerformed method() that I wrote is given below :

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
{
String str=jlab.getText();
String s=ae.getActionCommand();
double a=0,b=0,c=0;
int n=0,i=0;
char ch,ch1;
int len=str.length();
if(str.charAt(len-1)=='!') str="0";
if(s.equals("1") || s.equals("2") || s.equals("3") || s.equals("4") || s.equals("5") || s.equals("6") || s.equals("7") || s.equals("8") || s.equals("9") || s.equals("0"))
{
if(str.equals("0")) str=s;
else str=(str+s);
}
if(s.equals("."))
{
if(str.charAt(len-1)==' ') str=(str+"0.");
else str=(str+s);
}
if(s.equals("AC")) str="0";
if(s.equals("DEL"))
{
if(str.equals("0"));
else if(str.charAt(len-1)==' ') str=str.substring(0,len-3);
else str=str.substring(0,len-1);
}
if(s.equals("^") || s.equals("=") || s.equals("+") || s.equals("-") || s.equals("*") || s.equals("/") || s.equals("%"))
{
while((ch=str.charAt(i))!=' ')
{
if(ch=='.')
{
n=i;
i++;
if(str.charAt(i)==' ' || i==len)
{
str="Invalid Entry!!";
jlab.setText(str);
return;
}
else continue;
}
if(n==0) a=(a*10)+(ch-48);
else a+=(((ch-48)*1.0)/(Math.pow(10,i-n)));
i++;
if(i==len)
{
if(s.equals("="));
else if(s.equals("%"))
{
a*=100;
str=convert(a);
}
else str=(str + " " + s + " ");
jlab.setText(str);
return;
}
}
i++;
n=0;
ch1=str.charAt(i);
i+=2;
if(i==len)
{
str="Invalid Entry!!";
jlab.setText(str);
return;
}
else
{
while((ch=str.charAt(i))!=' ')
{
if(ch=='.')
{
n=i;
i++;
if(str.charAt(i)==' ' || i==len)
{
str="Invalid Entry!!";
jlab.setText(str);
return;
}
else continue;
}
if(n==0) b=(b*10)+(ch-48);
else b+=(((ch-48)*1.0)/(Math.pow(10,i-n)));
i++;
if(i==len) break;
}
}
if(ch1=='+') c=a+b;
if(ch1=='-') c=a-b;
if(ch1=='*') c=a*b;
if(ch1=='/')
{
if(b==0)
{
str="Invalid Entry!!";
jlab.setText(str);
return;
}
c=a/b;
}
if(ch1=='^') c=Math.pow(a,b);
str=convert(c);
i=len-1;
str=str + " " + s + " ";
System.out.println(str+"-");
jlab.setText(str);
if(s.equals("=")) str=convert(c);
if(s.equals("%"))
{
c*=100;
str=convert(c);
}
}
jlab.setText(str);
}
}

Thank you for your time.

The post isn't showing the gap between the 96 and the '+' sign.....

Use code tags.

Hey i solved the problem myself. It was a problem with my string handling, and not at all related to JLabel (which I obviously understood later).
