Ruby/Rails - Get the last two values in an array

Question

@numbers = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ]

@numbers.last will give me 8

I need to grab the last two records. So far I've tried this, however it throws a NoMethodError:

@numbers.last - 1

Answer 1

last takes an argument:

@numbers = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ] @numbers.last(2) # => [7,8] 

If you want to remove the last two items:

@numbers.pop(2) #=> [7, 8] p @numbers #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
