startsWith() and endsWith()

The following methods return true when the String value starts (or ends) with the provided substring prefix:

• boolean startsWith(String prefix)
• boolean startsWith(String prefix, int toffset)
• boolean endsWith(String suffix)

Here is the demo code:

boolean b = "Introduction".startsWith("Intro");System.out.println(b);             //prints: trueb = "Introduction".startsWith("tro", 2);System.out.println(b);             //prints: trueb = "Introduction".endsWith("ion");System.out.println(b);             //prints: true
