Тип строки в Python имеет очень много удобных методов. Сегодня пост про два таких метода которые чаще всего используются "однобоко". Это методы startswith() и endswith()
Самый обычный сценарий использования — проверка, начинается ли строка с указанной подстроки?
>>> "some_string".startswith("some")
True
И аналогичная ситуация с зеркальным вариантом этой функции, проверка совпадения с конца
>>> "some_string".endswith("some")
False
Так они используются в большинстве случаев что я видел. Но у этих функций есть еще два варианта использования.
🔸Сравнение нескольких подстрок
Для проверки нескольких подстрок в одной строке обычно вызывают эти функции несколько раз. Но на самом деле достаточно передать кортеж со всеми строками один раз. Если будет хоть одно совпадение то функция вернёт True.
>>>"my_image.png".endswith(("jpg", "png", "exr"))
True
🔸Диапазон поиска
Вторым аргументом можно передать индекс символа с которого следует начать сравнение, а третий аргумент это индекс последнего символа.
>>> ".filename.ext".startswith("file", 1)
True
>>> "file_###.ext".endswith('#', 0, -4)
True
Индексы можно указать отрицательными, что означает отсчёт с конца.

🪐 Scientists studying the future of interstellar travel are exploring how hydrogen harvested from interstellar space—called "ramjet" propulsion—could one day fuel journeys to stars like Alpha Centauri, located over 4 light-years from Earth. A concept known as the Bussard Ramjet proposes using a huge electromagnetic field to collect hydrogen atoms as a spaceship speeds through space, fusing them for energy in the same way stars do, potentially enabling continuous acceleration across vast cosmic distances. ✨

🪐 In the double star system Alpha Centauri, light from one star to the other takes over 20 hours to cross the distance—showing that even within a “nearby” solar system, the speed of light sets a hard limit for communication and travel. This demonstrates how vast even the smallest cosmic neighborhoods really are, as light’s top speed of 299,792 kilometers per second still can't make interstellar distances feel quick. ✨

🪐 Traveling to other stars is one of humanity’s greatest challenges, as even the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is over 4 light-years away—about 40 trillion kilometers! Current spacecraft, like Voyager 1, are only just leaving our solar system after more than 45 years, showing that interstellar travel will require new technologies, possibly using powerful methods such as nuclear propulsion or solar sails—giant, ultra-thin mirrors that ride the pressure of sunlight across space. ✨

🪐 The Breakthrough Starshot project is testing how ultra-light spacecraft powered by laser-driven lightsails could one day reach Alpha Centauri, our nearest star system, in just a few decades. These tiny probes, traveling at a fraction of the speed of light (over 100 million kilometers per hour), would gather data from planets like Proxima Centauri b, showing how future interstellar journeys might become possible using cutting-edge technology and real astronomical targets. ✨

🪐 Scientists testing the future of interstellar travel are examining how giant particle accelerators in space could launch tiny probes to neighboring star systems like Alpha Centauri. By using electromagnetic fields to give miniature spacecraft a massive boost, this method could send probes racing out of the solar system much faster than traditional rockets, all powered by technologies already proven in facilities like CERN's Large Hadron Collider on Earth. ✨
