Returns a reference to the last element in the list container.
Unlike member list::end, which returns an iterator just past this element, this function returns a direct reference.
Calling this function on an empty container causes undefined behavior.
If the list object is const-qualified, the function returns a const_reference. Otherwise, it returns a reference.
Member types reference and const_reference are the reference types to the elements of the list (see member types).
Output:
The last element is potentially accessed or modified by the caller. Concurrently accessing or modifying other elements is safe.
Otherwise, it causes undefined behavior.

Access last element
Unlike member list::end, which returns an iterator just past this element, this function returns a direct reference.
Calling this function on an empty container causes undefined behavior.
Parameters
noneReturn value
A reference to the last element in the list.If the list object is const-qualified, the function returns a const_reference. Otherwise, it returns a reference.
Member types reference and const_reference are the reference types to the elements of the list (see member types).
Example

Output:
mylist contains: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 |
Complexity
Constant.Iterator validity
No changes.Data races
The container is accessed (neither the const nor the non-const versions modify the container).The last element is potentially accessed or modified by the caller. Concurrently accessing or modifying other elements is safe.
Exception safety
If the container is not empty, the function never throws exceptions (no-throw guarantee).Otherwise, it causes undefined behavior.
