Answer 1

You can use casting...

string a = "s=8";
for (int i = 0; i < a.Length; i++)
Console.WriteLine(a[i]+" : " + (int)a[i]);

edit:
oh. you need 8 as count then
string a = "s=8";
int count = a[2]-48;

for (int i = 0; i < count ; i++)
Console.WriteLine( a[0] );

Jayakrishna 🇮🇳 Yeah it was my fault. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Answer 3

use Char.GetNumericValue:

int count = (int)Char.GetNumericValue(a[2]);

or keep it as a string using Substring:

int count = int.Parse(a.Substring(2));

or Range Operator:

int count = int.Parse(a[2..]);

Bob_Li It's interesting how the Substring method returns a string even if it only has one character. Thank you for providing more ways.
