java startswith

The `startsWith()` method in Java is used to determine whether a string starts with a specified prefix. This method is a part of the String class and returns a boolean value. Its syntax is:

public boolean startsWith(String prefix)

Here, the `prefix` parameter specifies the prefix to check in the string.

Example:

String str = "Hello World";
boolean result = str.startsWith("Hello");

if(result) {
    System.out.println("The string starts with 'Hello'");
} else {
    System.out.println("The string does not start with 'Hello'");
}

Output:

The string starts with 'Hello'
