Get Character From String Method

The Get Character From String method returns the character that resides at a specific location in a string. The length of this character is 1.

To get the first character in a string, you use position 0. For example:

var string1 = "a string";
var firstchar = string1.charAt(0);

To get the last character in a string, you use length minus 1. For example:

var lastchar = string1.charAt(string1.length - 1);

If the value in the position argument is not between 0 and the value of stringVar.length minus 1, then this method returns an empty string.

Format

stringVar.charAt(position)
