## last selector

Description: Selects the last matched element.

- #### version added: 1.0jQuery( ":last" )

Note that `:last` selects a single element by filtering the current jQuery collection and matching the last element within it.

### Additional Notes:

- Because `:last` is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using `:last` cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM `querySelectorAll()` method. To achieve the best performance when using `:last` to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use `.filter(":last")`.

## Example:

Finds the last table row.
