PYTHON — Check String Beginning Python Exercise

In this exercise, we’re going to practice using the .startswith() method in Python to check the beginning of a string. The goal is to write a program that prints the result of using .startswith() with the string "be" as an argument on each of the given strings.

Here’s an example of how you can use .startswith():

# Using .startswith() method
string1 = "beginning example"
result = string1.startswith("begin")
print(result)  # Output: True

Now, let’s create a program that prints the result of using .startswith() and the string "be" as an argument on each of the given strings.

# Checking the beginning of a string
string1 = "beginning example"
string2 = "apple"
string3 = "berry"
string4 = "banana"

print(string1.startswith("be"))  # Output: True
print(string2.startswith("be"))  # Output: False
print(string3.startswith("be"))  # Output: False
print(string4.startswith("be"))  # Output: False

In this program, we have used the .startswith() method to check if the given strings start with the letters "be". The method returns True if the string starts with the specified value, and False otherwise.

By running this program, you can see the result of using .startswith() on each of the given strings.

This exercise provides a hands-on opportunity to understand and practice using the .startswith() method in Python. After running the program, you'll be able to see the output for each string, helping you to better understand how this method works.
