last_spec struct

Indicates the last item in a month. For example, the last day of the week of a month, such as the last Tuesday of February 2020. Or the last day of a month, such as the last day of April 2019.

Syntax

struct last_spec; // C++20
inline constexpr last_spec last{} // C++20

Example: last

Use last_spec to indicate the last item in a month. The following example uses last to indicate the:

• Last day in December as a monthDayLast
• Last Friday in July of 2021 as a year_month_weekday_last
• Last day in April of 1975 as a year_month_day_last

// compile using: /std:c++latest
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>

using namespace std::chrono;

int main()
{
    constexpr auto monthDayLast{December/last}; // 'last' resolves to last_spec
    std::cout << monthDayLast << '\n';

    constexpr auto yearMonthWeekDayLast{year(2021)/July/Friday[last]}; // 'last' resolves to last_spec
    std::cout << yearMonthWeekDayLast << '\n';

    constexpr auto yearMonthDayLast{ April / last / 1975 };
    std::cout << yearMonthDayLast << "\n";  

    return 0;
}
