String endsWith() Method

endsWith() method is a String class method, it is used to check whether a given string ends with specific character sequences or not.

If a string ends with given character sequences – endsWith() method returns true, if a string does not end with the given character sequences – endsWith() method returns false.

Syntax:

    boolean String_object.endsWith(character_sequence);

Here,

• String_object is the main string in which we have to check whether it ends with given character_sequence or not.
• character_sequence is the set of character to be checked.

Example:

    Input:
    str = "Hello world!"
    Function call:
    str.endsWith("world!");
    Output:
    true

    Input:
    str = "IncludeHelp"
    Function call:
    str.endsWith("help");
    Output:
    false

Code:

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str1 = "Hello world!";
        String str2 = "IncludeHelp";
        
        System.out.println(str1.endsWith("world!"));
        System.out.println(str1.endsWith("help"));
        
        //checking through the conditions
        if(str1.endsWith("world!")){
            System.out.println(str1 + " ends with world!" );
        }
        else{
            System.out.println(str1 + " does not end with world!" );
        }
        //note: method is case sensitive
        if(str2.endsWith("help")){
            System.out.println(str2 + " ends with help" );
        }
        else{
            System.out.println(str2 + " does not end with help" );
        }        
    }
}

Output

true
false
Hello world! ends with world!
IncludeHelp does not end with help
