Examples
In the following program, we take an array of strings, and get the last element of this array using Array.last() method.
Main.kt
fun main(args: Array<String>) { val arr = arrayOf("apple", "banana") val element = arr.last() println("Last Element : $element") }
Output
Last Element : banana
Now, let us take an empty array, and check the result of last() method on this array.
Main.kt
fun main(args: Array<String>) { val arr = arrayOf<String>() val element = arr.last() println("Last Element : $element") }
Output
Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException: Array is empty. at kotlin.collections.ArraysKt___ArraysKt.last(_Arrays.kt:1841) at MainKt.main(Main.kt:3)
