The last property returns the last element of the array.
Example
var languages = ["Swift", "C", "Java"]
// check if leanguages is empty or not
var result = languages.last
print(result!)
// Output: Java
last Syntax
The syntax of the array last property is:
array.last
Here, array is an object of the Array class.
last Return Values
The last property returns the last element of array.
Note: The last property returns an optional value, so we need to unwrap it. There are different techniques to unwrap optionals. To learn more about optionals, visit Swift Optionals.
Example 1: Swift Array last
var names = ["Gregory", "Perry", "Nadal"]
// return last element of names
print("Last Name of Array: ", names.last!)
var even = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
// check last element of even
print("Last Even Number:", even.last!)
Output
last Name of Array: Nadal last Even Number: 10
Here, the last element of the names array is "Nadal", so the last property returns "Nadal" string.
Similarly, the last element of the even array is 10, so the property returns 10.
Note: Here we have used ! to force unwrap the optional. To learn more about forced unwrapping, visit Optional Forced Unwrapping.
