It returns a boolean value (true or false), indicating whether the string starts with the specified substring....

Learn all about the endsWith() method in JavaScript strings and its various functionalities. The endsWith() method in JavaScript allows you to determine whether a string ends with a specified value passed as a parameter. Here are a couple of examples to understand its usage: 'JavaScript'.endsWith('Script') // true 'JavaScript'.endsWith('script') // false In the first example, the endsWith() method returns true because the string ‘JavaScript’ ends with the value ‘Script’. However, in the second example, the method returns false because it performs a case-sensitive comparison, and the value ‘script’ does not match the string’s ending ‘Script’....
