last index of in string python code example

Example 1: last character of string in python

a = '123456789'

#to get last char, acess index -1
print(a[-1])

#this works the same as:
print(a[len(a)-1])

#instead of 1, subtract n to get string's nth char from last
#let n = 4
print(a[-4])

#result:
9
9
6

Example 2: lastindexof python

# using rindex() 
test_string = "abcabcabc"
  
# using rindex() 
# to get last element occurrence 
res = test_string.rindex('c')   
# printing result 
print ("The index of last element occurrence: " + str(res))

OUTPUT:
