You can get the last element of an array the following way

var myArray = new Array('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4', 'value5');
var last_element = myArray[myArray.length - 1];

You can get the last value of array with slice function like so:

var myArray = new Array('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4', 'value5');
var lastValue = myArray.slice(-1);

`slice(-1)` returns the value in an array, so that should be `var lastValue = myArray.slice(-1)[0];` – m69's been on strike for years Aug 19 '16 at 23:21
