The **`endsWith` function** in Scala checks whether a particular string ends with the element stated as a parameter. It takes a single parameter: a `string` element. It then returns true if the given string ends with the element stated and false otherwise.

The illustration below shows how the `endsWith` function works in Scala:

# Parameter

The `endsWith` function takes in a single parameter: a `string` element.

# Return value

The `endsWith` function returns `true` if the given string ends with the element stated in the parameter. Otherwise, it returns `false`.

# Example

The code snippet below shows how the `endsWith` function works in Scala:

object Compare {
   def main(args: Array[String]) {
      val myString = "Educative";
      val result = myString.endsWith("e");
      val result2 = myString.endsWith("v");
      
      println("With e: " + result);
      println("With v: " + result2);
   }
}

As the output shows, the function:
* returns true with "e" as a parameter, since the `string` "Educative" ends with an "e". 
* returns false with "v" as a parameter, since the `string` "Educative" does not end with a "v".
