Example:

In the example below, the java.util.Vector.lastIndexOf() method is used to find the index of last occurrence of the specified element in the vector MyVector, searching backward from specified index.

import java.util.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //creating a vector
    Vector<Integer> MyVector = new Vector<Integer>();

    //populating vector
    MyVector.add(10);
    MyVector.add(30);
    MyVector.add(20);
    MyVector.add(50);
    MyVector.add(30);

    System.out.print("30 appeared last time before index=2 at index="); 
    System.out.print(MyVector.lastIndexOf(30, 2));
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

30 appeared last time before index=2 at index=1
