Get the last item in an array

Question

Here is my JavaScript code so far:

var linkElement = document.getElementById(\"BackButton\");
var loc_array = document.location.href.split(\'/\');
var newT =         


        

Answer 1

Whatever you do don't just use reverse() !!!

A few answers mention reverse but don't mention the fact that reverse modifies the original array, and doesn't (as in some other language or frameworks) return a copy.

var animals = ['dog', 'cat'];

animals.reverse()[0]
"cat"

animals.reverse()[0]
"dog"

animals.reverse()[1]
"dog"

animals.reverse()[1]
"cat"

This can be the worst type of code to debug!
