Question

What is a correct syntax to return the first character in a string

Answer 1

Required Answer:

☑ You should use the charAt() method, at index 0, to select the first character of the string. NOTE: charAt is preferable than using [ ] (bracket notation) as str. charAt(0) returns an empty string ( '' ) for str = '' instead of undefined in case of ''[0] .

Answer 2

python get first character of stringpython

# Get First 3 character of a string in python

first_chars = sample_str[0:3]  

print('First 3 characters: ', first_chars)

# Output:

First 3 characters: Hel

string = 'This is a string'

print(string[0])

#output: 'T'
