reference back();
(1) (since C++11)
(constexpr since C++17)
const_reference back() const;
(2) (since C++11)
(constexpr since C++14)

Returns a reference to the last element in the container.

Calling back on an empty container causes undefined behavior.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

(none)

[edit] Return value

Reference to the last element.

[edit] Complexity

Constant.

[edit] Notes

For a non-empty container c, the expression c.back() is equivalent to *std::prev(c.end()).

[edit] Example

#include <cassert>
#include <array>
 
int main()
{
    std::array<char, 4> letters{'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'};
    assert(letters.back() == 'd');
}
