reference back();
(since {std})
const_reference back() const;
(since {std})
(until C++14)
constexpr const_reference back() const;
(since C++14)

Returns reference to the last element in the container.

Calling back on an empty container is undefined.

Contents

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Reference to the last element.

Complexity

Constant.

Notes

For a container c, the expression return c.back(); is equivalent to { auto tmp = c.end(); --tmp; return *tmp; }

Example

The following code uses back to display the last element of a std::{{{1}}}<char>:

#include <{{{1}}}>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::{{{1}}}<char> letters {'o', 'm', 'g', 'w', 't', 'f'};
 
    if (!letters.empty()) {
        std::cout << "The last character is: " << letters.back() << '\n';
    }  
}

Output:

The last character is f
