)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.HasSuffix(
		[]byte("Hi! How are you"), []byte("you")))

Output:

true
false
true

Example 2

// Golang program to demonstrate the

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var str string
	var suffix string

	str = "Hi there!"
	suffix = "!"

	if bytes.HasSuffix([]byte(str), []byte(suffix)) == true {
		fmt.Printf("Yes, %q ends with %q\n", str, suffix)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("No, %q does not end with %q\n", str, suffix)
	}

	str = "Aspire to inspire before we expire."

	if bytes.HasSuffix([]byte(str), []byte(suffix)) == true {
		fmt.Printf("Yes, %q ends with %q\n", str, suffix)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("No, %q does not end with %q\n", str, suffix)
	}

	str = "Aspire to inspire before we expire."
	suffix = "expire"

	if bytes.HasSuffix([]byte(str), []byte(suffix)) == true {
		fmt.Printf("Yes, %q ends with %q\n", str, suffix)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("No, %q does not end with %q\n", str, suffix)
