How to use the pop Method In Javascript

The pop method removes the last element from an array and returns that element. If you just want to access the last element without removing it, you can use this method in combination with a temporary variable.

Example: Below is an example.

Javascript
let myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let lastElement = myArray.pop();

console.log(lastElement); // Outputs 5
console.log(myArray); // Outputs [1, 2, 3, 4]

Output
5
[ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
