Python endswith() with multiple string

Question

I have a string:

myStr = "Chicago Blackhawks vs. New York Rangers"

I also have a list:

myList = ["Toronto Maple Leafs", "New York Rangers"]

Using the endswith() method, I want to write an if statement that checks to see if the myString has ends with either of the strings in the myList. I have the basic if statement, but I am confused on what I should put in the parentheses to check this.

if myStr.endswith():
    print("Success")

Answer 1

endswith() accepts a tuple of suffixes. You can either convert your list to a tuple or just use a tuple at the first place:

>>> myStr = "Chicago Blackhawks vs. New York Rangers"
>>> 
>>> my_suffixes = ("Toronto Maple Leafs", "New York Rangers")
>>> 
>>> myStr.endswith(my_suffixes)
True

str.endswith(suffix[, start[, end]])

Return True if the string ends with the specified suffix, otherwise return False. suffix can also be a tuple of suffixes to look for. With optional start, test beginning at that position. With optional end, stop comparing at that position.

Answer 2

You could use the keyword any:

if any(myStr.endswith(s) for s in myList):
    print("Success")

Answer 3

You may do it like this :)

for i in myList:
    if myStr.endswith(i):
        print(myStr + " Ends with : " + i)
