I am surprised... I wrote this code: x = list(input()) lastelement = x[-1] print(lastelement) But for test case 2, the input is 42 (only element) and my output is 2. All other test cases no problem. What could be wrong?

x = input() elements = x.split() #your code goes here print(x[-2]) print(x[-1])

Share your attempt at the solution. Give an example of the input, as a list could be input in may forms (I.E. space separated, comma separated, no separation, etc) The last element can always be found using -1 as the index.

Try this: print(elements[-1])

Its very easy, U can get list from the user by using "eval" & use -1 index for getting last element from the list:- L= eval(input ("Enter the list in comma separated form in [ ] : ")) LastEle= L[-1] print(LastEle)

Approach 1: Using map() x=list(map(int,input.split())) print(x[-1]) Approach 2: list comprehension x=int(input()) lis_t=[input() for i in range(x)] print(lis_t[-1]) Approach 3: Using Normal for loop, x=int(input()) lis_t=[] for i in range(x): lis_t.append(input()) print(lis_t[-1])

# Asks input from user separated by commas user_string = input("Enter items separated with \",\": ") # stores the comma separated values in a list named user_list user_list = user_string.split(",") print() #an empty line for vis print() #an empty line for vis # prints user_list for visual purposes print("User_list = ", user_list) print() #an empty line for vis # prints the last item in user_list print("The last item is,", user_list[-1])
