rindex(...) public

Returns the index of the last object in array == to obj. If a block is given instead of an argument, returns first object for which block is true. Returns nil if no match is found.

   a = [ "a", "b", "b", "b", "c" ]
   a.rindex("b")        #=> 3
   a.rindex("z")        #=> nil
   a.rindex{|x|x=="b"}  #=> 3
