Syntax:

string.charCodeAt(index);
Here is the detail of parameters:
  • index: An integer between 0 and 1 less than the length of the string; if unspecified, defaults to 0.

<head>
<title>JavaScript String charCodeAt() Method</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var str = new String( "This is string" );
document.write("str.charCodeAt(0) is:" + str.charCodeAt(0)); 
document.write("<br />str.charCodeAt(1) is:" + str.charCodeAt(1)); 
document.write("<br />str.charCodeAt(2) is:" + str.charCodeAt(2));

document.write("<br />str.charCodeAt(4) is:" + str.charCodeAt(4));
