There are different ways to get to an array's last element in JavaScript. In this shot, we see two such ways.

# 
## 1. Using the `length` property

The **`length` property** of an array specifies the number of elements in the array. In JavaScript, an array index starts from 0, and the `length` property starts the counting from 1. This results in one number greater than the total index values. Therefore, we must access the array index by subtracting 1 from its length to get the last index.
## Example

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];

const lastItem = fruits[fruits.length - 1];

console.log(lastItem);

## Explanation

* **Line 1**: We create an array `fruits` with three elements.
* **Line 3**: We get the array's length using the `length` property and subtract 1 from it. We save the result in the `lastItem` variable.
* **Line 5**: We print the value of `lastItem` on the console.

## 2. Using the `at()` method

The **`at` method** works in the same way as a regular array index `arr[n]`.


The only difference is that we can pass a negative integer,  -1, to get the array's last member.

> We need to keep in mind that, unlike the `length` property, the `at` method is a new ECMAScript feature released in 2022. Therefore, not all browsers support it.
## Example

const fruits = ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"];

const lastItem = fruits.at(-1);

console.log(lastItem);

## Explanation

* **Line 1**: We create an array `fruits` with three elements.
* **Line 3**: We use the `at()` method and pass `-1` to it. We save the result in the `lastItem` variable.
* **Line 5**: We print the value of `lastItem` on the console.
