# lastIndexOf method

1. @override

int lastIndexOf(

1. Object? element, [
2. int? start

])
override

The last index of `element` in this list.

Searches the list backwards from index `start` to 0.

The first time an object `o` is encountered so that `o == element`, the index of `o` is returned.

    final notes = <String>['do', 're', 'mi', 're'];
    const startIndex = 2;
    final index = notes.lastIndexOf('re', startIndex); // 1

If `start` is not provided, this method searches from the end of the list.

    final notes = <String>['do', 're', 'mi', 're'];
    final index = notes.lastIndexOf('re'); // 3

Returns -1 if `element` is not found.

    final notes = <String>['do', 're', 'mi', 're'];
    final index = notes.lastIndexOf('fa'); // -1

## Implementation

    @override
    int lastIndexOf(Object? element, [int? start]) {
      if (element is! E) return -1;
      return _elements.lastIndexOf(element, start);
    }
