## String `endswith()` method

The **`endswith()` method** checks for a given suffix in a string.

The Python String `endswith()` method returns `True` if a string ends with the specified suffix, and returns `False` otherwise.

Below is a visual representation of the `endswith()` method.

# 
#  Syntax

---
```
string_name.endswith(suffix, start, end)
```
---
> **`string_name`** is the name of the string.
---

# 
## Parameter

- **`suffix`**: Required. This is the string to check.

- **`start`**: Optional. An integer to indicate where the search should begin.

- **`end`**: Optional. An integer to indicate where the search should terminate.

##
## Return type

The `endswith()` method returns `True` if a string ends with the specified suffix, and returns `False` otherwise.

# 
## Code

The following code shows how to use the `endswith()` method in Python:

## 
### Example 1

Using the `endswith()` method without `start` and `end` arguments.

# Python code that demonstrate 
# .endswith() method
word = "California"
  
suffix = 'nia'
print (word.endswith(suffix))
  
result = word.endswith('for')
print (result)
  
result = word.endswith('nia.')
print (result)

> If no `start` and `end` indexes are specified, the starting and ending indexes are set to $0$ and length $-1$ by default.

## 
### Example 2

Using the `endswith()` method with `start` and `end` arguments.

# Python code to demonstrate
# .endswith() method
platform = "Educative.io"

shot = "String endswith() method in python"

# start arguement: 8  and  start: 17, end: 34 - 1
if platform.endswith('io', 8) and shot.endswith('python',17, 34):
    print ('This shot is available on Educative platform')
else:
    print("shot not found")
