Get the last element of a std::string

Question

I was wondering if there\'s an abbreviation or a more elegant way of getting the last character of a string like in:

char lastChar = myString.at( myString.le         


        

Answer 1

*(myString.end() - 1) maybe? That's not exactly elegant either.

A python-esque myString.at(-1) would be asking too much of an already-bloated class.
