    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/string-base-replace-after-last
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var replaceAfterLast = require( '@stdlib/string-base-replace-after-last' );
```

#### replaceAfterLast( str, search, replacement, fromIndex )

Replaces the substring after the last occurrence of a specified search string.

```javascript
var str = 'beep boop';
var out = replaceAfterLast( str, ' ', 'loop', str.length );
// returns 'beep loop'

out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'o', 'bar', str.length );
// returns 'beep boobar'
```

To begin searching from a specific index, provide a corresponding `fromIndex` argument.

```javascript
var out = replaceAfterLast( 'beep boop beep', ' ', 'loop', 6 );
// returns 'beep loop'
```

If `fromIndex` is less than zero, the starting index is resolved relative to the last string character, with the last string character corresponding to `fromIndex = -1`.

```javascript
var out = replaceAfterLast( 'beep boop beep', ' ', 'loop', -1 );
// returns 'beep boop loop'
```

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   If a search string is not present in a provided string, the function returns the provided string unchanged.
-   If a search string is an empty string, the function returns the provided string unchanged.
-   If `fromIndex` resolves to an index which is less than `0`, the function returns the provided string unchanged.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var replaceAfterLast = require( '@stdlib/string-base-replace-after-last' );

var str = 'beep boop';
var out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'p', 'see', str.length );
// returns 'beep boopsee'

str = 'Hello World!';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'xyz', 'foo', str.length );
// returns 'Hello World!'

str = 'Hello World!';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, '', 'foo', str.length );
// returns 'Hello World!'

str = '';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'xyz', 'foo', str.length );
// returns ''

str = 'beep boop beep baz';
out = replaceAfterLast( str, 'beep', 'foo', 5 );
// return 'beepfoo'
