The best and fast way to obtain the content of the last index of a list is using -1 for number of index , for example: my_list = [0, 1, 'test', 2, 'hi'] print(my_list[-1]) Output is: 'hi'. Index -1 shows you the last index or first index of the end. But if you want to get only the last index, you can obtain it with this function:

BetaAfter loop completes ind holds index of last occurrence of 2 which is 6 in this case. Using enumerate() Using enumerate() allows us to loop through list while keeping track of both index and element. By checking for target element we can update index of its last occurrence efficiently. Python

BetaHowever, using the negative index -1 allows you to access the last element of the array's length easily. Method 2: Slicing Slicing is a Python feature that allows you to get a portion of an array.

BetaIn this tutorial, I will explain how to use the Python array index -1 in detail with examples. In a recent Python webinar, array index -1 was the topic of the discussion. We will use index -1 to fetch the last element of the given collection without knowing the length of the collection.

BetaThe simplest way to display last element in python is >>> list[-1:] # returns indexed value [3] >>> list[-1] ... Negative sequence indexes represent positions from the end of the array. Negative indexing means beginning from the end, -1 refers to the last item, -2 refers to the second-last item, etc. Share.

BetaExplanation:len(a) - 1 gives the index of the last item, which is then used to retrieve the value. 3. Using len() with Indexing. We can also find the last element by using len() function. Find length of the list and then subtracting one to get the index of the last element. Python

BetaUsing negative indexing. Using slicing. Using pop() method. Using For loop. Assume we have taken a list containing some elements. We will return the last element of the given input list using different methods as specified above. Method 1: Using negative indexing. Python allows for "indexing from the end," i.e., negative indexing.

BetaIn Python, we can get the last element of a list using index notation. A positive index will give us a position in the list counting from the start, whereas a negative slice index will give us a position counting from the end. The last element is at index -1.

BetaHowever, we have learned through the Python 3 course that indices start at 0 instead of 1. This would mean that the last index of a list would be the value (length of the list)-1. When looking at list_one, I stated before that the length of the list is 5 but the number of indices of the list is 4 (due to the first index being 0).
