Example: Java String codePointAT() Method
The following example shows the usage of java String() method.
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println();
String str = "w3resource.com";
System.out.println("Original String : " + str);
// codepoint at index 1
int val1 = str.codePointAt(1);
// codepoint at index 9
int val2 = str.codePointAt(9);
// prints character at index1 in string
System.out.println("Character(unicode point) = " + val1);
// prints character at index9 in string
System.out.println("Character(unicode point) = " + val2);
System.out.println();
}
}
Output:
Original String : w3resource.com Character(unicode point) = 51 Character(unicode point) = 101
Example of Throws: codePointAt(int index) Method
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index argument is negative or not less than the length of this string.
Let
int val2 = str.codePointAt(-9);
in the above example.
Output:
