The charAt Method

Alternative access

The charAt() method also accesses characters:

let word = "Hello"
console.log(word.charAt(0))   // "H"
console.log(word.charAt(100)) // "" (empty string)

The difference from bracket notation: charAt() returns an empty string for out-of-bounds indices, while brackets return undefined. Both work for most cases. Bracket notation is more common in modern code.
