+# last
+
+> Return the last `n` UTF-16 code units of a string.
+
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var last = require( '@stdlib/string/base/last' );
+```
+
+#### last( str, n )
+
+Returns the last `n` UTF-16 code units of a string.
+
+```javascript
+var s = last( 'hello world', 1 );
+// returns 'd'
+
+s = last( 'this is stdlib', 1 );
+// returns 'b'
+
+s = last( 'foo', 2 );
+// returns 'oo'
+
+s = last( 'foo bar', 10 );
+// returns 'foo bar'
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Examples
+
+
+
+```javascript
+var last = require( '@stdlib/string/base/last' );
+
+var str = last( 'elections', 1 );
+// returns 's'
+
+str = last( 'JavaScript', 1 );
+// returns 't'
+
+str = last( 'good night', 5 );
+// returns 'night'
