Array index values start from zero.To obtain the last index value of an array ('n-1' if the array has 'n' elements), use the following syntax:

   $#array

To get the value of the last element of the array, you can either do:

   $array[$#array]

or

   $array[-1]
 

Example:

@array = qw(rock paper scissors);
 
print "Last index value of array: " . $#array . "\n";
print "Value of last element of array: " . $array[-1] . "\n";
