all above answers is correct but however a       len list1  - 1   where 0 - 1   -1  to be more precisely a       index   len a  - 1 if a else None   if index    None   raise Exception  quot Empty Array quot    since arrays is starting with 0

Did you mean len list1 -1   If you re searching for other method  you can try list1 index list1 -1    but I don t recommend this one  You will have to be sure  that the list contains NO duplicates

You can use the list length  The last index will be the length of the list minus one   len list1 -1    3

the best and fast way to obtain 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     out put is    hi   index -1 in show you last index or first index of the end

len list1 -1 is definitely the way to go  but if you absolutely need a list that has a function that returns the last index  you could create a class that inherits from list   class MyList list       def last index self           return len self -1    gt  gt  gt  l MyList  1  2  33  51    gt  gt  gt  l last index   3

I guess you want  last index   len list1  - 1    which would store 3 in last index
