Quick easy question

[jigglywiggly]

Just wondering, how would you check if a String has a character at a certain poisition?

Say String "cool" = hello

how would I make the equivelent of this:

if(cool.chatAt(4)!=null) {
doThis();
}

I know I can't use null with this, what would I use instead of null here?

[[RaIdEn]]

first of all.

this is a wrng representation

String "cool" = hello

it shld be

String cool = "hello"; instead.

2nd of all characters are primitive types that have only 1 value either a letter or a number.

So your question doesnt make sense. "how would you check if a String has a character at a certain poisition?"

So can you please elaborate?

I realize the thing about the String, I am just writing shorthand.

I am saying, the string "cool".

How can I check if at the position(4) if there is a char there or not.

A String has characters for it's entire length. Are you trying to check for certain types of characters instead? e.g Non visible characters?

Forget the question, I was just having 2 types of strings inputed, one is one character shorter than the other. I was just trying to check if there was a character there on the shorter string. Doesn't matter though, I will just use .length()

oh..at that case you can use the strng length which would be a common way.

you can also charat(..)
just try combo of while loop and charat(..)

Silly characters like space, carriage return, e.t.c
