A "full stop" is the same as a "period" or a "dot".

Quote from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_stop

"A full stop (British English, Hiberno-English, Australian English,
Indian English, South African English, Sri Lankan English and New
Zealand English) or period (American English and Canadian English) is
the punctuation mark placed to indicate the end of sentences. In the
context of web addresses and computing in general, it is typically
called a dot."
