With myarray that contains an array with 5 elements, I can use ${myarray[4]} to access the last item.

What can I do when I don't know the number of array elements?

I would like to know how to do this with Bash.

If I have an array with 5 elements, for example:

[a][b][c][d][e]

Using echo ${myarray[4]} I can see what it holds.

But what if I didn't know the number of elements in a given array? Is there a way of reading the last element of an unknown length array? i.e. The first element reading from the right to the left for any array?

I would like to know how to do this in bash.
