Conversion from string to char – c++

You can get a specific character from a string simply by indexing it. For example, the fifth character of str is str[4] (off by one since the first character is str[0]).

Keep in mind you’ll run into problems if the string is shorter than your index thinks it is.

c_str(), as you have in your comments, gives you a char* representation (the whole string as a C “string”, more correctly a pointer to the first character) rather than a char.

You could equally index that but there’s no point in this particular case.
