Use Bracket Notation to Find the First Character in a String

Bracket notation is a way to get a character at a specific index within a string.

Most modern programming languages, like JavaScript, don't start counting at 1 like humans do. They start at 0. This is refered to as Zero-based indexing.

Example

The character at index 0 in the word Charles is C. So if var firstName = "Charles", you can get the value of the first letter of the string by using firstName[0].
