There are few ways to get the last element in the list:

  1. You can use pop() function that returns the last element but also deletes it from the list.
  2. Use index [-1]
my_list = ['apple', 'pineapple', 'orange', 'grape']

last_element = my_list.pop()

print(f"The last element in list is '{last_element}'")
print(f"List after pop: {my_list}")

Output:

The last element in list is 'grape'
List after pop: ['apple', 'pineapple', 'orange']

Use -1 index to get the last element of the list:

my_list = [5, 8, 14, 11]

last_element = my_list[-1]

print(f"The last element in list is '{last_element}'")
print(f"List: {my_list}")

Output:

The last element in list is 11
List: [5, 8, 14, 11]
