A workaround that bypasses challenge's limitation of not using `endsWith()` function.

Challenge Name

Confirm the Ending

Issue Description

Detailed Description:
FreeCodeCamp requires the camper to not use .endsWith() function to solve the given Basic Algorithm Scripting challenge in any way:

This challenge can be solved with the .endsWith() method, which was introduced in ES2015. But for the purpose of this challenge, we would like you to use one of the JavaScript substring methods instead.

However, a simple workaround can bypass this given test:

Do not use the built-in method .endsWith() to solve the challenge.

Workaround: Using if and else conditions to return true or false if the condition of str.endsWith(target) is satisfied.
