How to get the last element of a slice in Golang

In this tutorial, we will learn how to get the last element of a slice in Golang.

In Go, the elements in the silce can be accessed by using its index number, where the first element index is [0], the second element index is [2], etc.

Getting the last element

To access the last element of a slice, we can use the slice expression [] by passing len(slice)-1 in Go.

Here is an example, that gets the last element 45 from the prices slice:

prices := []int{15,25,35,45}
lastElement := prices[len(prices)-1]

fmt.Println(lastElement)

Output:

45
