# skipLast

Bypasses a specified number of elements at the end of an observable sequence.

This operator accumulates a queue with a length enough to store the first `count` elements. As more elements are received, elements are taken from the front of the queue and produced on the result sequence. This causes elements to be delayed.

## Arguments

1. `count` *(`Number`)*: Number of elements to bypass at the end of the source sequence.

## Returns

*(`Observable`)*: An observable sequence containing the source sequence elements except for the bypassed ones at the end.
