Definition and usage
charAt( ) method returns the character at the specified position.
Note that JavaScript does not have a character data type distinct from the string type, so the characters returned are strings of length 1.
Syntax
stringObject.charAt(index)
Parameter Description
index Required. A number that represents a certain position in a string, that is, the subscript of a character in the string.
Tips and Notes
Note: The index of the first character in the string is 0. If the parameter index is not between 0 and string.length, this method returns an empty string.
Example
In the string "Hello world!", we will return the character at position 1:
The output of the above code is:
e
Return the specified The character at index position.
strObj.charAt(index)
Parameters
strObj
Required. Any String object or literal.
index
Required. The zero-based index of the desired character. Valid values are between 0 and the string length minus 1.
Description
The charAt method returns a character value that is located at the specified index position. The first character in the string has index 0, the second has index 1, and so on. Index values outside the valid range return an empty string.
Example
The following example illustrates the use of the charAt method:
function charAtTest(n){
var str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; // Initialize variables.
var s; // Declare variables.
s = str.charAt(n - 1); // Get the correct character from index n - 1
//
return(s); //Return characters.
