In this tutorial, we will explain how to use Python string endswith() method with basic syntax by example for better understanding.

The String endswith() method returns True if the string ends with a given substring between the given start and end index; otherwise, it returns False.

Syntax:

<string_value/string_variable>.endswith(substring_value/substring_variable, start=o, end=n)

Input Parameters:

• string_value / String variable : The string that we want to check whether it’s ends with specific character or not.
• substring_value/substring_variable : The characters or words that we need verify ending with.
• Start : The start index that we need to check the substring value it’s coming at this index or not. this is an optional parameter.
• End : The end index that we need to end the check of substring value whether it’s starting by substring value or variable or not. this is an optional parameter.

Python Check String Ends With

We can check the string value it’s properly starting with particular character or not by simply using the endswith(substring_value) method.

Example (1)

#Print the result of endswith() method
msg= 'welcome to python'
substr='to'
print ('For string variable:',msg.endswith(substr,1,9))

Output of example (1)

For string variable: False

In the above example, the string variable is ‘msg’, and the substring variable is ‘substr’. When we checked the substring variable value at string index 1 to 9 by msg.endswith(substr,1,9) in the print statement, the output shows the result as False because substring ‘to’ starts at the 8th index and it is not at the 1st index or 9th index.

Example (2)

#Print the result of endswith() method
print('For string value:','parismumbai'.endswith('i'))

Output of example (2)

For string value: True

In the above example, the string value ‘ parismumbai ‘ ends with ‘i’, and when we checked the end character of it by passing substring ‘i’ as ‘parismumbai’.endswith(‘i’) in the print statement, the output shows the result as True.

In this tutorial, you have learned the string endswith() method in Python. What is it? And how to check whether the string ends with a given substring between the given start and end index or not.

Hopefully, it was clear and concise.

Similar Python String Checking Methods:

• isalnum() : It returns True if all the characters of the string are alphanumeric; otherwise, it returns False.
• isdigit() : It returns True if all the characters of the string are digit; otherwise, it returns False.
• isdecimal() : It returns True if all the characters of the string are decimal; otherwise, it returns False.
• isnumeric() : It returns True if all the characters of the string are numeric; otherwise, it returns False.
• isalpha() : It returns True if all the string characters are in lowercase; otherwise, it returns False.
• islower() : It returns False if all the string characters are in an lowercase; otherwise, it returns False.
• isupper() : It returns False if all the string characters are in an uppercase; otherwise, it returns False.
• isspace() : It returns True if all the characters of a string are whitespace; otherwise, it returns False.
• istitle() : It returns True if the string starts with a given substring between the given start and end index; otherwise, it returns False.
• startswith() : It returns True if the string starts with a given substring between the given start and end index; otherwise, it returns False.
