C# / .NET - remove last element from List
3 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to remove last element from List in C#.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4 };2
3
myList.RemoveAt(myList.Count - 1); // [ 1, 2, 3]or:
xxxxxxxxxx1
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4 };2
3
List<int> newList = myList.SkipLast(1).ToList();Note:
SkipLast()method was introduced in .NET 6.
In this example, we use Count property with -1 to get the last index of the List. Then we use RemoveAt() method to remove element under the last index.

using System;2
using System.Linq;3
using System.Collections.Generic;4

public class Program6
{7
public static void Main()8
{9
List<int> myList = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4 };10
11
// get last index of myList12
int lastIndex = myList.Count - 1;13
14
// remove last element15
myList.RemoveAt(lastIndex);16
17
// display result18
foreach (int item in myList)19
Console.WriteLine(item);20
