12. Ends With Substring

Write a Java program to check whether a given string ends with another string.

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

// Define a public class named Exercise12.
public class Exercise12 {
    // Define the main method.
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Declare and initialize two string variables, str1 and str2.
        String str1 = "Python Exercises";
        String str2 = "Python Exercise";

        // The String to check the above two Strings to see
        // if they end with this value (se).
        String end_str = "se";

        // Check if the first string ends with end_str.
        boolean ends1 = str1.endsWith(end_str);
        
        // Check if the second string ends with end_str.
        boolean ends2 = str2.endsWith(end_str);

        // Display the results of the endsWith calls.
        System.out.println("\"" + str1 + "\" ends with " +
            "\"" + end_str + "\"? " + ends1);
        System.out.println("\"" + str2 + "\" ends with " +
            "\"" + end_str + "\"? " + ends2);
    }
}

Sample Output:

"Python Exercises" ends with "se"? false                                                                      
"Python Exercise" ends with "se"? true

• Write a Java program to check whether a given string ends with a specified substring and handle case sensitivity.
• Write a Java program to test multiple suffixes on a string and output all matching endings.
• Write a Java program to verify if a string ends with any one of a set of given suffixes provided in an array.
• Write a Java program to simulate endsWith functionality without using the built-in endsWith method.
