Check if string starts with a specific prefix string in Python

Python – Check if string starts with a specific prefix
String is a sequential collection of characters. When working with Strings, we may need to check if the string starts with a specific substring or in other words check if string has a specific prefix string.

To check if the string starts with a given word, you can use startswith() function of the string str class.

Syntax
The syntax of startswith() method is

str.startswith(prefix[, start[, end]])
where prefix is the substring we are looking to match in the main string. start and end arguments are optional.

If start is given, the main string from that position is considered for matching with prefix.

If end is given, the main string till that position is considered for matching with prefix.

startswith() returns True if the string starts with the prefix, else startswith() returns False.

The python string endswith() method checks if the input string ends with the specified suffix. This function returns true if the string ends with the specified suffix, otherwise returns false. This function has one mandatory parameter and two optional parameters.
