The length of the list should be given simply by using the list in
the context of an int.
If you have a situation in which the context does not force it to be
an int (such as a "print" statement, which can accept both lists and
ints), you can force it yourself:
print (myList + 0). # forces the list to become an int

Once you have the length of the list, you can use that to get the
last element. For example:
length = (myList + 0).
print myList{ length - 1 }.
