Return all documents

db.world.find()
db.world.aggregate([{"$match":{}}])

Returning the first document

db.world.findOne()
db.world.find()[0]
db.world.find().limit(1)
db.world.aggregate([{"$limit":1}])

Returning the nth document

let n = 50;
db.world.find()[n-1]
db.world.find().skip(n-1).limit(1)
db.world.aggregate([{"$skip":n-1},{"$limit":1}])

Returning the last document

db.world.find()[db.world.count()-1]
db.world.find().skip(db.world.count()-1).limit(1)
db.world.aggregate([{"$skip":db.world.count()-1},{"$limit":1}])
