Access last element of a TypeScript array

Question

Is there a notation to access the last element of an array in TypeScript? In Ruby I can say: array[-1]. Is there something similar?

Answer 1

You can access the array elements by it's index. The index for the last element in the array will be the length of the array-1 ( as indexes are zero based).

This should work.

var items: String[] = ["tom", "jeff", "sam"];

alert(items[items.length-1])

Here is a working sample.
