The Javascript findLastIndex() method is used to find the index of the last element in an array that matches the specified condition. It works by iterating over the array from the end to the beginning and returning the index of the first element that satisfies the condition specified in a callback function. If no element matches the condition, the method returns -1. This method is useful when you need to find the last occurrence of a specific value in an array.
Syntax:
array.findLastIndex( element );
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter that is described below:
- element: This parameter holds the current element.
Return Value: The index of the last (highest-index) element in the array that passes the test. Otherwise, -1 if no matching element is found.
Example 1:
Javascript
// Declare an array const arr1 = [1, 45, 69, 84]; // Declare an array const arr2 = [9, -2, 6.8]; // Declare a function called that // takes an element as a parameter // and returns true if the element // is greater than 19 const isLargeNumber = (element) => element > 19; // Call the findLastIndex method on // the arr1 array and pass in the // isLargeNumber function as a parameter console.log(arr1.findLastIndex(isLargeNumber)); // Call the findLastIndex method on // the arr2 array and pass in the // isLargeNumber function as a parameter console.log(arr2.findLastIndex(isLargeNumber)); |
Output:
3 -1
Example 2:
Javascript
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]; const isEven = (num) => num % 2 === 0; const lastIndex = arr.findLastIndex(isEven); console.log(lastIndex); // Output: 9 |
Output
9
