Kotlin String - endsWith() Function

---

---

The Kotlin string endsWith() function is used to determine whether a string or character sequence ends with a specified suffix or character. The function supports case-sensitive and case-insensitive comparisons, so it can be used to verify text, analyze text or filter text.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the Kotlin string endsWith() function −

fun String.endsWith(suffix: String, ignoreCase: Boolean = false): Boolean
fun String.endsWith(suffix: Char, ignoreCase: Boolean = false): Boolean
fun CharSequence.endsWith(suffix: CharSequence, ignoreCase: Boolean = false): Boolean

Parameters

This function accepts following parameters −

• suffix: The string, character, or character sequence to check for at the end of the string.
• ignoreCase (optional): If true, the case is ignored during the comparison. Default is false.

Return value

This function returns boolean value, true if the string ends with the specified suffix; otherwise, false.

Example 1: Check String with Suffix

Following is the basic example, here we use endsWith() function to check string with specified suffix in kotlin −

fun main() {
   val text = "Hello, Kotlin!"
   println(text.endsWith("Kotlin!"))
   // case sensitive
   println(text.endsWith("kotlin!"))
}

Output

Following is the output −

true
false

Example 2: If the String is Case Insensitive

Now, let's look at another example of the EndsWith() function; If the string is case insensitive, return false unless ignoreCase is specified. If ignoreCase is true, it returns true −

fun main() {
   val text = "Hello, Kotlin!"
   println(text.endsWith("kotlin!", ignoreCase = true))
}

Output

Following is the output −

true

Example 3: Check a String With Char Suffix

If we check a string with a character suffix by using theendsWith()function in Kotlin if the character is available at the last, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false &mius;

fun main() {
    val string = "Hello, Kotlin"
    println(string.endsWith("n"))
    println(string.endsWith("!"))
}

Output

Following is the output −

true
false
