Name

charAt — Return the character at a given position in a string

Usage

String.charAt(str, index)

str : String

index : Number

Description

Extracts the single character at the specified index from the string str, and returns it as a single-character string. (The first character in the string has index zero.) If index is a floating-point number, it’s converted to an integer with Float.int( ) before being used. If index is out of range (less than zero or past the end of the string), the empty string is returned.

If the arguments can’t be converted to the correct types, invalid is returned.
