.endsWith()

The .endsWith() method compares the end of the sequence with the given suffix and returns a boolean value indicating whether they are the same or not.

Syntax

String.endsWith(suffix, ignoreCase)

• String: The sequence which the suffix is to be compared with.
• suffix: A sequence of length n, to be compared with the last n elements of String.
• ignoreCase: A boolean value dictating whether function is to be case insensitive. Defaults to false.

Example

The example demonstrates the use of .endsWith() to compare the end of a sequence, first to the string “@gmail.com”, then with the string “@hotmail.com”.

fun main() {
  val str = "[email protected]"
  val sfx1 = "@gmail.com"
  val sfx2 = "@hotmail.com"

  val endsWithSfx1 = str.endsWith(sfx1)
  println(endsWithSfx1)

  val endsWithSfx2 = str.endsWith(sfx2, true)
  println(endsWithSfx2)
}

The output of this code will be:

false
true
