# last

The last element of the collection.

## Declaration

```swift
var last: Self.Element? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the collection is empty, the value of this property is nil. let numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] if let lastNumber = numbers.last {     print(lastNumber) } // Prints "50" note: O(1)
