Example Program: Java String endsWith() Method

package codespeedy;

import java.util.*;
public class Codespeedy {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       String str="Welcome codespeedy tutorial"; // declare string 
       System.out.println(str.endsWith("tutorial"));   // check whether "tutorial" is suffix of string or not
       System.out.println(str.endsWith("al"));         // check whether "al" is suffix of string or not
       // codespeedy is exists in the string but it is not at the end it will return false
       System.out.println(str.endsWith("codespeedy"));  // check whether "codespeedy" is suffix of string or not 
       System.out.println(str.endsWith("l"));          // check whether "l" is suffix of string or not
    }
    
}

output:

true
true
false
true

Analyze the output:

str= "Welcome to codespeedy tutorial"

1- str.endsWith("tutorial");  it will show true because tutorial is the suffix of string

2-  str.endsWith("al");      it will show true because "al" is the suffix of string

3- str.endsWith("codespeedy");    it will show false because "codespeedy" is substring but not the ending substring (suffix).

4- str.endsWith("l");   it will show true because "l" is suffix of the string .
