Startswith and Endswith
The String class provides two more methods that are specialized versions of the equals( ) method. The startWith( ) method enables us to check whether a given string str1 starts with another string str2. For example, in the following program, the startWith( ) method will return true as the string “hajsoftutorial” starts with the string “haj”.
The endWith( ) method helps us to check if a given string str1 ends with another string str2. For example, in the following program, the string “hajsoftutorial” ends with the string “rial”, the endWith method will return true.
Program
public class Javaapp { public static void main(String[] args){ String str1 = new String("hajsoftutorial"); if(str1.startsWith("haj")) { System.out.println("str1 start with haj"); } if(str1.endsWith("ial")) { System.out.println("str1 end with ial"); } } }
