# endIndex

The collection’s “past the end” position—that is, the position one greater than the last valid subscript argument.

## Declaration

```swift
var endIndex: Self.Index { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When you need a range that includes the last element of a collection, use the half-open range operator (..<) with endIndex. The ..< operator creates a range that doesn’t include the upper bound, so it’s always safe to use with endIndex. For example: let numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] if let index = numbers.firstIndex(of: 30) {     print(numbers[index ..< numbers.endIndex]) } // Prints "[30, 40, 50]" If the collection is empty, endIndex is equal to startIndex.
