Searching in strings

There are new functions to determine whether a strings starts with, ends with, or includes a given string. This can give you much relief from using indexOf(...) and length-related calculations:

"Hello, there!".startsWith("He"); // true
"Hello, there!".endsWith("!");    // true
"Hello, there!".includes("her");  // true

Each of these methods has a position as an optional second parameter, which specifies where to do the search; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/startsWith, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/endsWith, and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/includes for more information.
