Java String startsWith example

String’s startsWith method checks if String starts with specific prefix. It returns boolean datatype.

Method Signature:

public boolean startsWith(String prefix)

String startsWith Example:

package org.arpit.java2blog;

public class StringStartsWithExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

String str = "java2blog";

if (str.startsWith("java")) {

System.out.println("String starts with java");

}

else {

System.out.println("String does not start with java");

}

if (str.startsWith("JAVA")) {

System.out.println("String starts with JAVA");

}

else {

System.out.println("String does not start with JAVA");
