<description>
Just as with Javascript arrays', since the DataTables API object is "array like", items can be removed from a result set using this method. *Popping* a result, pops it off the end. The API instance's result set is reduced in length by 1 and the item that was removed is returned from the function call. `dt-api shift()` can be used to perform the same action, but at the start of the array, if required.
This method is a proxy for the Javascript `Array.prototype.pop` method and is provided as a utility method for the DataTables API. For more information about the original method, please refer to the [Mozilla MDN documentation for `pop`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/pop).

<example title="Get the last item from a column."><![CDATA[
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
var data = table
.column( 0 )
.data();
var lastItem = data.pop();
alert( 'Last item in the result set was: '+lastItem );
]]></example>
</dt-api>
