# takeLast

#### signature: `takeLast(count: number): Observable`

## Emit the last n emitted values before completion

***

💡 If you want only the last emission from multiple observables, on completion of multiple observables, try [forkJoin](/learn-rxjs/operators/combination/forkjoin.md)!

***

### Examples

**Example 1: take the last 2 emitted values before completion**

( [StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-zss7oo?file=index.ts\&devtoolsheight=100) )

```js
// RxJS v6+
import { of } from 'rxjs';
import { takeLast } from 'rxjs/operators';

const source = of('Ignore', 'Ignore', 'Hello', 'World!');
// take the last 2 emitted values
const example = source.pipe(takeLast(2));
// Hello, World!
const subscribe = example.subscribe(val => console.log(val));
```
