\title{ Last item of an object }
\description{
Returns the last item of a vector or list, or the last row of a data.frame or
data.table.
}
\usage{
last(x, \dots)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{ A vector, list, data.frame or data.table. Otherwise the S3 method of
\code{xts::last} is deployed. }
\item{\dots}{ Not applicable for \code{data.table::last}. Any arguments here are
passed through to \code{xts::last}. }
}
% \details{

\value{
If no other arguments are supplied it depends on the type of x. The last item
of a vector or list. The last row of a \code{data.frame} or \code{data.table}.
Otherwise, whatever \code{xts::last} returns (if package xts has been loaded,
otherwise a helpful error).
If any argument is supplied in addition to \code{x} (such as \code{n} or
\code{keep} in \code{xts::last}), regardless of \code{x}'s type, then
\code{xts::last} is called if xts has been loaded, otherwise a helpful error.
