pop - remove the last element from an array and return it


NAME

pop - remove the last element from an array and return it


SYNOPSIS

pop ARRAY

pop


DESCRIPTION

Pops and returns the last value of the array, shortening the array by one element. Has an effect similar to

    $ARRAY[$#ARRAY--]

If there are no elements in the array, returns the undefined value (although this may happen at other times as well). If ARRAY is omitted, pops the @ARGV array in the main program, and the @_ array in subroutines, just like shift.
