C# equivalent to Java's charAt()?

I know we can use the charAt() method in Java get an individual character in a string by specifying its position. Is there an equivalent method in C#?

In C#, the string must be static for saying :

str[8];

Console.WriteLine allows the user to specify a position in a string.

See below sample code:

string str = "Tigger";
Console.WriteLine( str[0] ); //returns "T";
Console.WriteLine( str[2] ); //returns "g";

There you go!

Simply use String.ElementAt(). It's quite similar to java's String.charAt(). Have fun coding!

you can use LINQ 

string abc = "abc";
char getresult = abc.Where((item, index) => index == 2).Single();

please try to make it as a character 

string str = "Tigger";
//then str[0] will return 'T' not "T"

You can index into a string in C# like an array, and you get the character at that index.

Example:

In Java, you would say 

str.charAt(8);

In C#, you would say 

str[8];

string sample = "ratty";
Console.WriteLine(sample[0]);

And

Console.WriteLine(sample.Chars(0));
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.chars%28v=VS.71%29.aspx

The above is same as using indexers in c#.
