Synopsis

string.charAt(n)

Arguments

n

The index of the character that should be returned from string.

Returns

The nth character of string.

Description

String.charAt( ) returns the nth character of the string string. The first character of the string is numbered 0. If n is not between 0 and string.length-1, this method returns an empty string. Note that JavaScript does not have a character data type that is distinct from the string type, so the returned character is a string of length 1.
