In OpenMP, 'lastprivate' is a clause used in parallel programming that allows the last value assigned to a variable within a parallel region to be copied back to the original variable after the parallel execution. This is particularly useful when you want to ensure that a specific variable retains its final value from the last iteration of a loop or task. It effectively enhances data consistency by preserving results across different threads.
