Find the last element of a list in scala

In Scala, list is defined under scala.collection.immutable package. A list is a collection of same type elements which contains immutable data. we generally use last function to print last element of a list.

Below are the examples to find the last element of a given list in Scala.

• Simply print last element of a list
  
  

  
  
  

  // Scala program to find the last element of a given list  import scala.collection.immutable._    // Creating object  object GFG {      // Main method      def main(args:Array[String])      {          // Creating and initializing immutable lists          val mylist: List[String] = List("Geeks", "For",                                  "geeks", "is", "best")                 // Display the last value of mylist         println("Last element is: " + mylist.last)             }  }

  Output:

  Last element is: best

   

• Print last element of a list using for loop
  
  

  
  
  

  // Scala program to find the last element of a given list // using for loop  import scala.collection.immutable._    // Creating object  object GFG {      // Main method      def main(args:Array[String])      {          // Creating and initializing immutable lists          val mylist: List[String] = List("Geeks", "For",                                          "geeks", "is",                                 "a", "fabulous", "portal")            // Display the last value of mylist using for loop          for(element<-mylist.last)          {              print(element)          }      }  }

  Output:

  portal

   

• Print last element of a list using foreach loop
  
  

  
  
  

  // Scala program to find the last element of a given list // using foreach loop  import scala.collection.immutable._    // Creating object  object GFG {             // Main method      def main(args:Array[String])      {          // Creating and initializing immutable lists          val mylist = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)                               print("Original list is: ")         // Display the value of mylist using for loop          mylist.foreach{x:Int => print(x + " ") }                    // calling last function         println("\nLast element is: " + mylist.last)     }  }

  Output:

  Original list is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 
  Last element is: 6
