Python string endswith() method “returns True if a string ends with the specified suffix.” If not, False otherwise.
Syntax
string.endswith(suffix, start, end)Parameters
- suffix: This is part of the string for which we are checking if the string is ending with that part.
- start: The suffix starts from here; it is optional.
- end: The suffix ends here; it is optional.
Return value
The endswith() method returns a boolean value:
- It returns True if a string ends with the specified suffix.
- It returns False if a string doesn’t end with the specified suffix.
Example 1: How does the string.endswith() method work?
string = "Hello I am a string and I am ending with = end"
result = string.endswith("end")
result1 = string.endswith("END")
print("Comparing it with right suffix so output: ",result)
print("Comparing it with wrong suffix so output: ",result1)Output
Comparing it with right suffix so output: True
Comparing it with the wrong suffix so output: FalseExample 2: How to Use string.endswith() method
string = "This is a string and is awesome"
right_suf = "some"
wrong_suf = "some!"
print(string.endswith(right_suf, 28, 31))
print(string.endswith(wrong_suf, 28, 31))Output
False
FalseExample 3: Python endswith() With Tuple Suffix
text = "hey, this is easy"
result = text.endswith(('hey', 'hi'))
print(result)
result = text.endswith(('python', 'easy', 'java'))
print(result)
result = text.endswith(('is', 'an'), 0, 14)
print(result)
Output
