# <small>nlohmann::basic_json::</small>back
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
reference back();
|
|
|
|
const_reference back() const;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns a reference to the last element in the container. For a JSON container `c`, the expression `c.back()` is
|
|
equivalent to
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
auto tmp = c.end();
|
|
--tmp;
|
|
return *tmp;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Return value
|
|
|
|
In case of a structured type (array or object), a reference to the last element is returned. In case of number, string,
|
|
boolean, or binary values, a reference to the value is returned.
|
|
|
|
## Exception safety
|
|
|
|
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
|
|
|
|
## Exceptions
|
|
|
|
If the JSON value is `#!json null`, exception
|
|
[`invalid_iterator.214`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator214) is thrown.
|
|
|
|
## Complexity
|
|
|
|
Constant.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
!!! info "Precondition"
|
|
|
|
The array or object must not be empty. Calling `back` on an empty array or object yields undefined behavior.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
??? example
|
|
|
|
The following code shows an example for `back()`.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
--8<-- "examples/back.cpp"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
--8<-- "examples/back.output"
|
|
```
