This method returns the last index of the occurrence of the specified element in this list, or -1 if this list does not contain the element.

Syntax:

int lastIndexOf(Object o)

Parameters: This function has a single parameter, i.e, the element to be searched in the list.

Returns: This method returns the last index of occurrence of the given element in the list and returns “-1” if element is not in the list.

Below programs show the implementation of this method.

Program 1:




// Java code to show the implementation of
// lastIndexOf method in list interface
import java.util.*;
public class GfG {
  
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Initializing a list of type Linkedlist
        List<Integer> l = new LinkedList<>();
        l.add(1);
        l.add(3);
        l.add(5);
        l.add(7);
        l.add(3);
        System.out.println(l);
        System.out.println(l.lastIndexOf(3));
    }
}


Output:

[1, 3, 5, 7, 3]
4

Program 2: Below is the code to show implementation of list.lastIndexOf() using Linkedlist.




// Java code to show the implementation of
// lastIndexOf method in list interface
import java.util.*;
public class GfG {
  
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Initializing a list of type Linkedlist
        List<String> l = new LinkedList<>();
        l.add("10");
        l.add("30");
        l.add("50");
        l.add("70");
        l.add("30");
        System.out.println(l);
        System.out.println(l.lastIndexOf("30"));
    }
}


Output:

[10, 30, 50, 70, 30]
4
