What is the difference between __del__() and __exit__() in Python?

In Python, you can check if a string ends with a specific substring using different methods. Here's a detailed explanation of a few commonly used approaches: Using the endswith() method: Theendswith() method is a built-in string method that can be used to check if a string ends with a specified suffix. It returnsTrue if the string ends with the given suffix, andFalse otherwise.

my_string = "Hello, World!"

if my_string.endswith("World!"):
    print("The string ends with 'World!'.")
else:
    print("The string does not end with 'World!'.")

In this example,my_string.endswith("World!") checks if the string"Hello, World!" ends with the substring"World!". If it does, the corresponding message is printed. You can also specify a tuple of suffixes to check if the string ends with any of the given suffixes. For example:

my_string = "Hello, World!"

if my_string.endswith(("World!", "Earth!")):
    print("The string ends with either 'World!' or 'Earth!'.")
else:
    print("The string does not end with either 'World!' or 'Earth!'.")

Using slicing and comparison: You can also use slicing to extract the end of the string and compare it to the desired substring.

my_string = "Hello, World!"

if my_string[-len("World!"):] == "World!":
    print("The string ends with 'World!'.")
else:
    print("The string does not end with 'World!'.")

In this example,my_string[-len("World!"):] slices the end of the string, considering the same number of characters as the length of the desired suffix. It is then compared to the substring"World!" using the== operator. Using regular expressions: If you need more complex pattern matching for the suffix, you can use regular expressions (re module) to check if the string matches a specific pattern at the end.

import re

my_string = "Hello, World!"

if re.search(r"World!$", my_string):
    print("The string ends with 'World!'.")
else:
    print("The string does not end with 'World!'.")

In this example,re.search(r"World!$", my_string) searches for the pattern"World!" at the end of the string ($ denotes the end of the string). If there is a match, the corresponding message is printed. Choose the method that best suits your needs based on the specific requirements and context of your program.
