Get n-th element from end of list (table)

Question

If I have a list (table):

local list = {'foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'qux'}

How do I get the n-th item from the end? (e.g., the last or second to last)

Answer 1

Try list[#list+1-n] to get the n-th entry from the end, counting from 1 as usual in Lua. So the last item has n=1.
