reference back();
(1) (constexpr since C++20)
const_reference back() const;
(2) (constexpr since C++20)

Returns a reference to the last element in the container.

Calling back on an empty container causes undefined behavior.

Contents

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Reference to the last element.

Complexity

Constant.

Notes

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

Example

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