## Usage

```javascript
var pop = require( '@stdlib/utils/pop' );
```

#### pop( collection )

Removes and returns the last element of a `collection`. A `collection` may be either an [`Array`][mdn-array], [`Typed Array`][mdn-typed-array], or an array-like [`Object`][mdn-object] (i.e., an [`Object`][mdn-object] having a valid writable `length` property). 

```javascript
var arr = [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ];

var out = pop( arr );
// returns [ [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 ], 5.0 ]

var bool = ( out[ 0 ] === arr );
// returns true

var lastValue = out[ 1 ];
// returns 5.0
```

In contrast to [`Array.prototype.pop`][mdn-array-pop] which returns only the removed element, the function also returns the shortened collection. For [typed arrays][mdn-typed-array] having a length greater than `0`, the returned collection is a new [typed array][mdn-typed-array] view.

```javascript
var Float64Array= require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var arr = new Float64Array( 2 );
arr[ 0 ] = 1.0;
arr[ 1 ] = 2.0;

var out = pop( arr );
// returns [ <Float64Array>[ 1.0 ], 2.0 ]

var bool = ( out[ 0 ] === arr );
// returns false

bool = ( out[ 0 ].buffer === arr.buffer );
// returns true

var lastValue = out[ 1 ];
// returns 2.0
```

## Notes

-   When provided a [typed array][mdn-typed-array], the function does **not** change the underlying [`ArrayBuffer`][mdn-arraybuffer]. The function returns a new [typed array][mdn-typed-array] view whose length is one less than the input [typed array][mdn-typed-array] length. Accordingly, the function does **not** reduce the memory footprint of an input [typed array][mdn-typed-array].
