## Overview
The **`dropLast(:_)` method** is used to remove a given number of elements at the end of the array and return a new array without those elements.



## Syntax
```swift
arr.dropLast(n)
```
## Parameters

**`n`**: This is the number of elements to drop off at the end of the array. It must be greater than or equal to zero.

## Return value
This method returns new array that contains elements of the original array, except for the last `n` elements.
## Example


// create arrays
let numbers = [2, 4, 5, 100, 45]
let fruits = ["orange", "mango", "grape"]
let languages = ["Swift", "Python", "Java", "C", "C++"]
let dates = [2022, 2012, 1998, 1774]

// invoke the dropLast(:_) method
// and print results
print(numbers.dropLast(2))    // [2, 4, 5]
print(fruits.dropLast(1))     // ["orange", "mango"]
print(languages.dropLast(4))  // ["Swift"]
print(dates.dropLast(0))      // [2022, 2012, 1998, 1774]

## Explanation
* **Line 2–5**: We create some arrays.
* **Line 9–12**: We call the `dropLast(_:)` method on the arrays and print the results to the console.


What is the dropLast(_:) method in Swift?

Removes specified elements from array's end, returns new array excluding those elements.
