}
Returns the last object in the range, or an array of the last n elements.
Note that with no arguments last will return the object that defines the end of the range even if exclude_end? is true.
Example
(10..20).last #=> 20 (10...20).last #=> 20 (10..20).last(3) #=> [18, 19, 20] (10...20).last(3) #=> [17, 18, 19]
