How to write "if not class" jQuery selector?

I want to do something with var p:

var p = $("li:last");

But I don't want to do anything if there is a certain Class appended. I tried :not like this:

var p = $("li:last:not(.Class)");

This doesn't work. How can I exclude .Class in my var?

var p = $("li:last");
if (!p.hasClass('Class')){
//some stuff
}

Actually :not does work as a selector.

If you want to select the last element that doesn't have the class, use this

var p = $("li:not(.Class):last");

This selects first the lis that don't have that class, and then the last of them. See it working here.

To make it perfectly clear, these are equivalent:

var p = $("li:not(.Class):last");
var p = $("li").not(".Class").last();

And, also, these are equivalent:

var p = $("li:last:not(.Class)");
var p = $("li").last().not(".Class");
