How to target a single character in a string?

Question

Example

target: any third character.

string: "Hello World".

result: "l".

Answer 1

You don't need to loop in JavaScript (or in most languages actually). There are a couple ways you can accomplish this. Using the [] operator or using the charAt() method.

let a = "hello";

a[2]
a.charAt(2)

Answer 2

I never seen the at method... I remember only charAt

Answer 3

I meant to type charAt KrOW . Thanks!

Answer 4

Thanks Zeke Williams It really worked.

Answer 5

You will have to loop through the string to make sure your target is always on the third character.

Example:-

var i;
var name = "Alex";

for(i = 0; i < name.length, i++)
{
if(name[2])
{
document.write("The third character is " + name[2]);
}
}

I didn't test it but it should give u an idea of what you want
