Take last n element in Kotlin

I have a list on which I'd like to apply some transformations, but excluding the first 2 elements. How can I do it the nicest way? Something like this:

list.reversed().take(list.size - 2)...(my transformations)

or

list.excludeFirstN(2)...(my transformations)

Oh, I found the [drop()][1] function.

You can use [takeLast(n)][1] like:

list.takeLast(3)

But be carful, the last number is represented first, so you may need to use [reversed][2] as well, so your code could be:

list.takeLast(3).reversed()

As already mentioned, `drop` is a good fit for the use case:


listOf(1,2,3,4).drop(2).forEach(::println)

Otherwise, you can also filter by index:

listOf(1,2,3,4).filterIndexed { index, _ -> index > 1 }.forEach(::println)
