Python – Get the last element of a list
In Python, we can use index -1
to get the last element of a list.
#!/usr/bin/python
nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(nums[-1])
print(nums[-2])
print(nums[-3])
print(nums[-4])
print(nums[-5])
print(nums[0])
print(nums[1])
print(nums[2])
print(nums[3])
print(nums[4])
Output
5
4
3
2
1
1
2
3
4
5
Yet another example.
#!/usr/bin/python
# getting list of nums from the user
nums = list(map(int, input("Enter space separated numbers").split()))
# accessing the last element using -1 index
print(nums[-1])
Output
Enter space separated numbers 1 2 3 4 5
5
