{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
  String str1 = "RajaRamMohan";

			// one practical example
			// to separate all the names ending with Rao
  String names[] = { "SNRao", "Jyostna", "Satya Rao", "Prasad", "Sai Rao" };
  System.out.println("\nExtracting names from array ending with \"Rao\":");
  for(int i = 0; i < names.length; i++)
  {

   {
    System.out.print(names[i] + ", ");
   }
