documented, exercised by the test suite and/or worked examples, with no known limitations recorded.

Description

Last[expr] gives the last element of expr.

Examples (4)

Every input below was run against the current Mathilda build and its output recorded.

Basic examples (3)

In[1]:= First[<|"a" -> 10, "b" -> 20|>] In[1b]:= First[<||>, 0] Out[1b]= 0

In[2]:= Rest[<|"a" -> 10, "b" -> 20, "c" -> 30|>]
Out[2]= <|"b" -> 20, "c" -> 30|>

In[3]:= Take[<|"a" -> 1, "b" -> 2, "c" -> 3|>, 2]
Out[3]= <|"a" -> 1, "b" -> 2|>

Applications (1)

In[4]:= Last[{a,b,c}]
Out[4]= c

Implementation notes

builtin_last (in src/part.c) takes a single argument and returns a deep copy of its final element (args[arg_count - 1]). It returns NULL (unevaluated) when the argument is atomic or empty.

Attributes: none registered.
