String’s startsWith method checks if String starts with specific prefix. It returns boolean datatype.
When you run above program, you will get below output:
Method Signature:
|
1 2 3 |
public boolean startsWith(String prefix) |
String startsWith Example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
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"); } } } |

Please note that startsWith method is case sensitive as you can see in above example
