What is the function of Extracting String Characters in JavaScript
-
I am brand new to coding of any kind. I am reading W3schools, Javascript String Methods, and one of the functions I don't understand is what is the function/purpose of Extracting String Characters? These two codes are particularly unclear to me charAt() and charCodeAt(). When would they be used?

charAt() and charCodeAt()
The
charAtfunction[^] returns the character at the specified index. For example, if the string contains "Hello",s.charAt(0)will return"H". ThecharCodeAtfunction[^] returns the numeric Unicode value of the character at the given index. For example, if the string contains "Hello",s.charCodeAt(0)will return72, which is the Unicode value that represents an uppercase "H". List of Unicode characters[^]Member 11446034 wrote:

They would be used when you need to extract either a character, or the Unicode value of a character, at a particular index in a string.
