Swift Array removeLast()

In this tutorial, we will learn about the Swift array removeLast() method with the help of examples.

The removeLast() method removes the last element from the array.

Example

var brands = ["Dell", "Apple", "Razer"]

// removes and returns last element from brands print(brands.removeLast())
// Output: Razer

removeLast() Syntax

The syntax of the array removeLast() method is:

array.removelast(i: Int)

Here, array is an object of the Array class.


removeLast() Parameter

The removeLast() method can take a single parameter:

  • i (optional) - number of elements to be removed from the end of the array

removeLast() Return Value

  • returns the removed element from the array

Example 1: Swift Array removeLast()

var country = ["Nepal", "Greece", "Spain"]

// removes and returns last element from country print(country.removeLast())
// print the modified array print(country)

Output

Spain
["Nepal", "Greece"]

Here, we have used the removeLast() method to remove the last element from the country array.

After removing the last element, we have printed the modified array.


Example 2: Remove Multiple Number of Elements

var languages = ["Swift", "Python", "Java"]

print("Before removeLast():", languages)

// removes last two elements from languages languages.removeLast(2)
print("After removeLast():", languages)

Output

Before removeLast(): ["Swift", "Python", "Java"]
After removeLast(): ["Swift"]

Here, languages.removeLast(2) removes the last 2 elements from languages.
