The String charAt() method

Find out all about the JavaScript charAt() method of a string

Return the character at the index i

Examples:

'Flavio'.charAt(0) //'F'
'Flavio'.charAt(1) //'l'
'Flavio'.charAt(2) //'a'

If you give an index that does not match the string, you get an empty string.

JavaScript does not have a “char” type, so a char is a string of length 1.
