How to Get the Last Element of the List in Python

[hamminthrees0]

In this tutorial, we will cover how to get the last element of a list in Python. The main goal is to understand the concept of retrieving the last element from a list. We will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you is how to check the number if it is a even or odd. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest method of creating this program, called "Get the Last Element of the List in Python". So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console of checking if a number is even or odd. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.

1. while
   
   True
   
   :
   
2. ret=
   
   False
   
3. 
   
4. print
   
   (
   
   "\n
   
   \n
   
   ================= Get the Last Element of the List =================\n
   
   \n
   
   "
   
   )
   
5. 
   
6. sample_list =
   
   [
   
   'a'
   
   ,
   
   'b'
   
   ,
   
   'c'
   
   ,
   
   'd'
   
   ]
   
7. print
   
   (
   
   "My List: "
   
   ,
   
   sample_list)
   
8. print
   
   (
   
   "Last Element is: "
   
   ,
   
   sample_list[
   
   -1
   
   ]
   
   )
   
9. 
   
10. 
    
11. 
    
12. user_input=
    
    input
    
    (
    
    "\n
    
    \n
    
    Try again? (Yes/No): "
    
    )
    
13. print
    
    (
    
    "\n
    
    \n
    
    "
    
    )
    
14. if
    
    user_input.lower
    
    (
    
    )
    
    ==
    
    'no'
    
    :
    
15. print
    
    (
    
    "Exit program."
    
    )
    
16. break
    
17. 
    
18. elif
    
    user_input.lower
    
    (
    
    )
    
    ==
    
    'yes'
    
    :
    
19. ret=
    
    True
    
20. 
    
21. else
    
    :
    
22. print
    
    (
    
    "Wrong input."
    
    )
    
23. ret=
    
    True
    
24. 
    
25. 
    
26. if
    
    ret:
    
27. continue
    

In the provided code, the first step is to use a while loop to encapsulate all the code, ensuring the continuity of the program. Next, we set variables for the list. Lastly, we declare the list variable with a negative index position to determine the exact position of the last element.
