Script Preparation code:

const value = "ABCDEF...WXYZ"
const ending = "Z"

function compareEndsWith(val, comparator) {
  return val.endsWith(comparator)
}
function compareSliceMethod(val, comparator) {
  const thingToCompare = val.slice(-1)
  return thingToCompare === comparator
}
function compareByIndex(val, comparator) {
	return value[12] === comparator
}

Tests:

endWith
const value = "ABCDEF...WXYZ" const ending = "Z" compareEndsWith(value, ending)
slice
const value = "ABCDEF...WXYZ" const ending = "Z" compareSliceMethod(value, ending)
hardcoded index
const value = "ABCDEF...WXYZ" const ending = "Z" compareByIndex(value, ending)
