Assume that name is a variable of type String that has been assigned a value. Write an expression whose value is the first character of the value of name. So if the value of name were "Smith" the expression's value would be 'S'.

char firstLeter = name. charAt (0);

Explanation:

Consider the program below:

public class num2 {

public static void main (String[] args) {

String name = "Smith";

char firstLetter = name. charAt (0);

System. out. println (firstLetter);

}

}

In this program, A string name is defined and assigned the value "Smith".

Java's String method charAt () is called and passed the argument of index 0. This causes it to output the character S. Since this is the first letter in the String is at index 0.
