public class suffix
extends DefaultInternalAction

Internal action: .suffix(S,L).

Description: checks if some list or string S is a suffix of list/string L. If S has free variables, this internal action backtracks all possible values for S.

Parameters:

• +/- suffix (list or string): the suffix to be checked.
• + list (list or string): the list where the suffix is from.

Examples:

• .suffix([c],[a,b,c]): true.
• .suffix([a,b],[a,b,c]): false.
• .suffix(X,[a,b,c]): unifies X with any suffix of the list, i.e., [a,b,c], [b,c], [c], and [] in this order.
• .suffix("c","abc"): true.
• .suffix("ab","abc"): false.
• .suffix(X,"abc"): unifies X with any suffix of the string, i.e., "abc", "bc", "c", and "" in this order.
