Challenge #2: Provide equivalent relevance using different inspector

[jgstew]

Can you provide equivalent relevance that returns the last character of a string, but without using the character inspector, or uses the character or length inspector in a very different way?

Send me answer(s) in a private message. I’ll list those that provide a correct answer. There are many different correct answers.

Q: (character (length of it - 1) of it) of "1234E"
A: E
T: 0.032 ms
I: singular substring

This was my use case to write this relevance in the first place: https://bigfix.me/analysis/details/2998509

I’m using it to trim the very last character off of a string. There is probably a better way to do it, but it was what I came up with first.
