Get the last element of an Array
The Array class provides methods for creating, manipulating, searching,
and sorting arrays. The Array class is not part of the System.Collections
namespaces. However, it is still considered a collection because it is based
on the IList interface. An element is a value in an Array. The length of an
Array is the total number of elements it can contain. The Array has a fixed
capacity.
The following .net c# tutorial code demonstrates how we can get the last element of an Array. But there is no built-in method in the Array class to get the last element from an Array object. So in this .net c# tutorial code example, we will use the Enumerable Last() method to get the Array last element.
The Enumerable Last() method returns the last element of a sequence. The Enumerable Last() method throws ArgumentNullException if the source is null. It also throws InvalidOperationException if the source sequence is empty.
The Enumerable Last() method has another overload that returns the last element of a sequence that satisfies a specified condition. In this .net c# tutorial code we also get the last element of an Array instance which element ends with a specified String.
So finally, using the Enumerable class Last() method the .net c# developers can get the last element from an Array instance.
