FindLast · Software Engineering Wiki

Returns the value of the last element in the provided collection that satisfies the provided testing function.

Implement an appropriate function for each type.
Use a for loop to iterate over elements in the given collection, using f to determine if the element matches.
Return the value of the last matching element and nil if a value is found.
Use fmt.Errorf() to generate an appropriate error and return it alongsie a zero value for the type.

FindLastInt([]int{1, 1, 2}, func(x int) bool { return x%2 == 0 }) // 2 nil
FindLastFloat64([]float64{4.0, 6.0}, func(x float64) bool { return x%2.0 == 1.0 }) // 0.0 "No matches found"
