An Automorphic number is a number which is a suffix of its square in base 10. This is sequence A003226 in the OEIS.

Your Task:

Write a program or function to determine whether an input is an Automorphic number.

Input:

An integer between 0 and 10^12 (inclusive), that may or may not be an Automorphic number.

Output:

A truthy/falsy value indicating whether or not the input is an Automorphic number.

Examples:

0           -> truthy
1           -> truthy
2           -> falsy
9376        -> truthy
8212890625  -> truthy

Scoring:

This is , lowest score in bytes wins.

Python 2, 24 bytes

lambda n:`n*1L`in`n**2L`

Try it online!

For the first time in history, Python 2's appending an L to the repr of longs is a feature rather than a bug.

The idea is to check if say, 76^2=5776 ends in 76 by checking if 76L is a substring of 5776L. To make the L appear for non-huge numbers, we multiply by 1L or have 2L as the exponent, since an arithmetic operation with a long with produces a long.

Alice, 17 bytes

/o.z/#Q/
@in.*.L\

Try it online!

Outputs nothing (which is falsy in Ordinal mode) or Jabberwocky (which is non-empty and therefore truthy in Ordinal mode; it's also the canonical truthy string value).

Explanation

/.../#./
....*..\

This is a slight modification of the general framework for linear Ordinal mode programs. The / in the middle is used to have a single operator in Cardinal mode in between (the *) and then we need the # to skip it in Ordinal mode on the way back. The linear program is then:

i..*.QLzno@

Let's go through that:

i    Read all input as a string and push it to the stack.
..   Make two copies.
*    This is run in Cardinal mode, so it implicitly converts the top two
     copies to their integer value and multiplies them to compute the square.
.    Implicitly convert the square back to a string and make a copy of it.
Q    Reverse the stack to bring the input on top of the two copies of its square.
L    Shortest common supersequence. This pops the input and the square from
     the top of the stack and pushes the shortest string which begins with
     the square and ends with the input. Iff the square already ends with the
     input, this gives us the square, otherwise it gives us some longer string.
z    Drop. Pop the SCS and the square. If the square contains the SCS (which
     would mean they're equal), this removes everything up to the SCS from
     the square. In other words, if the SCS computation left the square
     unchanged, this gives us an empty string. Otherwise, it gives us back
     the square.
n    Logical not. Turns the empty string into "Jabberwocky" and everything
     else into an empty string.
o    Print the result.
@    Terminate the program.

Explanation: The fish takes the quotient of x2 by increasing powers of 10, and counts how many times this equals x. When the power of 10 gets larger than x, it prints the count and halts. The count will be 1 if x is automorphic, and 0 if it isn't.
