Python String endswith() method

Python String endswith() method

The string.endswith() method in Python returns a Boolean value True if the string ends with the specified suffix, otherwise it returns False.

Syntax

endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])

Parameter

suffix – This parameter represents a string or tuple of suffixes to be checked.

start (optional) – This parameter signifies the beginning position where suffix is to be checked within the string.

end (optional) - This parameter signifies the ending position where suffix is to be checked within the string.

Return

The method returns a Boolean value True if the strings ends with the specified suffix else it returns False if the string doesn't end with the specified suffix.

Example 1

 # Python program explaining
 # the endswith() method
 # passing the string value
 str_val = "This is my Python endswith program. This is a simple method."
 # checking whether the string ends with the specified suffix,
 result1 = str_val.endswith('simple method.')
 # returns False
 print(result1)
 result2 = str_val.endswith('endswith program.')
 # returns True
 print(result2)
 result3 = str_val.endswith('This is my Python endswith program. This is a simple method.')
 # returns True
 print(result3) 

Output

 True
 False
 True 

Example 2

 # Python program explaining
 # the endswith() method
 strVal = "tutorials and examples."
 # start parameter: 10 
 result1 = strVal.endswith('tutorials.', 10) 
 print(result1) 
 # Both start and end is provided 
 # start: 14, end: 22 
 # Returns true 
 result2 = strVal.endswith('examples', 14, 22) 
 print (result2)
 # returns True 
 result3 = strVal.endswith('tutorials', 0, 9) 
 print (result3) 

Output

 False
 True
 True
