Instance MethodSwift

    lastIndex(of:)

    Returns the last index where the specified value appears in the collection.

    func lastIndex(of element: Self.Element) -> Self.Index?

    Parameters

    element

    An element to search for in the collection.

    Returns

    The last index where element is found. If element is not found in the collection, this method returns nil.

    Overview

    After using lastIndex(of:) to find the position of the last instance of a particular element in a collection, you can use it to access the element by subscripting. This example shows how you can modify one of the names in an array of students.

    var students = ["Ben", "Ivy", "Jordell", "Ben", "Maxime"]
if let i = students.lastIndex(of: "Ben") {
    students[i] = "Benjamin"
}
print(students)
// Prints "["Ben", "Ivy", "Jordell", "Benjamin", "Max"]"
