  • ind: It takes a single parameter only that is the index of the element which can be a positive or negative integer

Example 1: In this example, we will use the String.at() method with a positive index.

JavaScript
let str1 = "Welcome to GeeksforGeeks";
let str2 = "GeeksforGeeks";

console.log(str1.at(3));
console.log(str2.at(8))

Output

G

Example 2: In this example, we will use the String.at() method with a negative index. The negative index starts from the last character of the string, -1 represents the last character and counting is done from the back

JavaScript
let str1 = "Welcome to GeeksforGeeks";
let str2 = "GeeksforGeeks";

console.log(str1.at(-3));
console.log(str2.at(-8))

Output
