A '''suffix''' is a kind of [[subarray]] which is like a [[prefix]] except that values are taken from the end of the array rather than the beginning: a [[vector]] is a suffix of another vector if it is no longer than that vector, and shares all of its trailing [[element]]s. In [[leading axis theory]], an array may be considered a suffix of another array of the same [[rank]] if the same relation holds with [[major cell]]s in place of elements. The function [[Drop]] produces suffixes of its right argument when the left argument is non-negative. | A '''suffix''' is a kind of [[subarray]] which is like a [[prefix]] except that values are taken from the end of the array rather than the beginning: a [[vector]] is a suffix of another vector if it is no longer than that vector, and shares all of its trailing [[element]]s.
