Courses Plus Student 9,255 Pointsany character sequence in java use zero based position so the first is 0 then 1,2,.... so for example
char c = "hello".charAt(0); // c = 'h'
h is 0, e is 1 and so on in counting so we extract the first letter by telling it to give us the letter at the position zero (give us the char at the position number)
