Remember that the position of any character, is the <strong>length of the string, minus one, minus the number of characters after it</strong>. For example, if you are trying to find the third-to-last character of the following string:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var str = "Programming";
|
||
|
|
var secondToLastChar = str[str.length - 2]; // This is 'i'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As you can see, there is one extra character after 'n' (and that is 'g').
