var lastEvenNumber = numbers.LastOrDefault(n => (n & 1) == 0);
Console.WriteLine(lastEvenNumber); //4

var lastNegativeNumber = numbers.LastOrDefault(n => n < 0);
Console.WriteLine(lastNegativeNumber); //0

var words = new[] { "one", "two", "three", "four", "five" };

var lastWord = words.LastOrDefault();
Console.WriteLine(lastWord); // five

var lastLongWord = words.LastOrDefault(w => w.Length > 4);
Console.WriteLine(lastLongWord); // three

var lastMissingWord = words.LastOrDefault(w => w.Length > 5);
Console.WriteLine(lastMissingWord); // null
