Objective-C (cocoa) equivalent to python's endswith/beginswith

Question

Python has string.startswith() and string.endswith() functions which are pretty useful. What NSString methods can I use to have the same function?<

Answer 1

Use -hasPrefix: and -hasSuffix::

NSString *s = @"foobar";
NSLog(@"%d %d\n", [s hasPrefix:@"foo"], [s hasSuffix:@"bar"]);
// Output: "1 1"
