Syntax : numpy.core.defchararray.startswith(arr, prefix, start = 0, end = None)
Parameters :
arr : [array-like of str or unicode] Array-like of str.

start, end : [int, optional] With optional start, test beginning at that position. With optional end, stop comparing at that position.
Return : [ndarray] Return the array of booleans.
