Thanks. What if i do fn:reverse($pageSessionLogs) and then
subsequence($reversed,1) ? Would that be even better ?

An efficient way is to use fn:subsequence instead of a predicate. -m

Danny,

Try subsequence($pageSessionLogs, count($pageSessionLogs), 1)

Anything in square brackets is evaluated once for each element of the
sequence, so if you profile that you’ll see something like
“postion()=last()” evaluated many times – it just looks like an array index
due to a syntactic sugar.

Yours,
Damon

*Subject:* [MarkLogic Dev General] Faster alternative to fn:last()

Hello,

I'm trying to get the first and last documents in a sequence. The code goes
like this :

                         let $firstLog := $pageSessionLogs[1]
                         let $lastLog := $pageSessionLogs[fn:last()]

After doing some timings, it looks like the 2nd line always takes around 30
milliseconds. And since I'm doing this in a loop, the delays add up
significantly.

Is there a faster way of getting the last sequence member ?

Regards,
Danny
