How to check if a string "StartsWith" another string?

 

In Python, you can check if a string starts with another string using the str.startswith() method. Here's an example:

python
# Main string main_string = "Hello, world!" # Check if it starts with a specific prefix prefix = "Hello" if main_string.startswith(prefix): print(f"The main string starts with '{prefix}'.") else: print(f"The main string does not start with '{prefix}'.")

In this example:

  • We have a main string main_string containing the text "Hello, world!".

  • We want to check if main_string starts with the prefix "Hello".

  • We use the startswith() method on main_string and pass the prefix as an argument.

  • If the startswith() method returns True, it means the main string starts with the specified prefix, and we print a message indicating that. If it returns False, we print a message indicating that the main string does not start with the prefix.

You can use this method to check whether a string starts with another string in Python.
