How do I get the last four characters from a string in C#?

Question

Suppose I have a string:

\"34234234d124\"

I want to get the last four characters of this string which is \"d124\". I can use <

Answer 1

Use a generic Last. That will work with ANY IEnumerable, including string.

public static IEnumerable Last(this IEnumerable enumerable, int nLastElements)
{
    int count = Math.Min(enumerable.Count(), nLastElements);
    for (int i = enumerable.Count() - count; i < enumerable.Count(); i++)
    {
        yield return enumerable.ElementAt(i);
    }
}

And a specific one for string:

public static string Right(this string str, int nLastElements)
{
    return new string(str.Last(nLastElements).ToArray());
}
