Why not just use simple javascript   var array  1 2 3 4   var lastEl   array array length-1     You can write it as a method too  if you like  assuming prototype has not been included on your page    Array prototype last   function    return this this length-1

According to jsPerf  Last item method  the most performant method is array array length-1   The graph is displaying operations per second  not time per operation    It is common  but wrong  for developers to think the performance of a single operation matters  It does not  Performance only matters when you re doing LOTS of the same operation  In that case  using a static value  length  to access a specific index  length-1  is fastest  and it s not even close

I know the answer is already given  but I think I ve got another solution for this  You could take the array  reverse it and output the first array item like this   var a    1 2 3 4   var lastItem   a reverse   0    Works fine for me

When dealing with a jQuery object   last   will do just that  filter the matched elements to only the last one in the set   Of course  you can wrap a native array with jQuery leading to this   var a    1 2 3 4   var lastEl     a  last   0

For arrays  you could simply retrieve the last element position with array length - 1   var a    1 2 3 4    var lastEl   a a length-1      4   In jQuery you have the  last selector  but this won t help you on plain arrays

See these test cases http   jsperf com last-item-method The most effective way is throug  pop method  in V8   but loses the last element of the array

User · Answer

I use this    array reverse   0   You reverse the array with reverse   and then pick the first item of the reversed version with  0   that is the last one of the original array   You can use this code if you don t care that the array gets reversed of course  because it will remain so
