The last
function is the logical opposite of the head
function: it will return the last element of an array without modifying the array. The last
helper function is a wrapper around PHP's end
function.
#Signature
The signature of the last
function is:
1function last(
2 $array
3);
#Example Use
Using the following array:
1$anotherArray = [
2 'fourth',
3 'fifth',
4 'sixth'
5];
We can get the last element (without removing it) like so:
1$lastElement = last($anotherArray);
At this point, the $lastElement
would have the value of sixth
. The following function calls are equivalent:
1// Using Laravel's last function.
2$lastValue = last($anotherArray);
3
4// Using PHP's end function.
5$endValue = end($anotherArray);
