Groovy - String endsWith() method

endsWith() method tests whether this string ends with the specified suffix.

Syntax

Boolean endsWith(String suffix)

Parameters

• suffix − The suffix to search for.

Return Value

This method returns true if the character sequence represented by the argument is a suffix of the character sequence represented by this object; false otherwise. Note that the result will be true if the argument is the empty string or is equal to this String object as determined by the equals(Object) method.

Example - Checking if String Ends with Given Suffix

Following is an example of the usage of endsWith() method. If the given string value is the same as the specified suffix, the endsWith() method returns true.

Example.groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      //instantiate a string class
      String str = new String("Hello");
      
      //initialize the suffix
      String suffix = "llo";
      println("The given string is: " + str);
      println("The suffix is: " + suffix);
      
      //using the endsWith() method
      println("The string ends with the specified suffix or not? " + str.endsWith(suffix));
   }
}

Output

When we run the above program, we will get the following result −

The given string is: Hello
The suffix is: llo
The string ends with the specified suffix or not? true

Example - Checking if String is not Ending with Given Suffix

Following is an example of the usage of endsWith() method. If the given string value is different from the specified suffix, the endsWith() method returns false.

Example.groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      // create an object of the string class
      String str = new String("Groovy Programming");
      
      // initialize the suffix
      String suffix = "Groovy";
      System.out.println("The given string is: " + str);
      System.out.println("The suffix is: " + suffix);
      
      // using the endsWith() method
      System.out.println("The string ends with the specified suffix or not? " + str.endsWith(suffix));
   }
}

Output

When we run the above program, we will get the following result −

The given string is: Groovy Programming
The suffix is: Groovy
The string ends with the specified suffix or not? false

Example - Checking if String is Ending with Given Suffix in Case Sensitive Way

Following is an example of the usage of endsWith() method. If the given string value is the same as the suffix, but the case is different, the endsWith() method returns false.

Example.groovy

class Example {
   static void main(String[] args) {
      //instantiate the string class
      String str = new String("TutorialsPoint");
      
      //initialize the suffix
      String suffix = "point";
      println("The given string is: " + str);
      println("The suffix is: " + suffix);
      
      //using the endsWith() method
      println("The string ends with the specified suffix or not? " + str.endsWith(suffix));
   }
}

Output

When we run the above program, we will get the following result −

The given string is: TutorialsPoint
The suffix is: point
The string ends with the specified suffix or not? false
