Delphi/Lazarus: Convert String to Char

Similar to an array, you can also access the individual parts of a string.

So for example:

var
  c: char;
  s: string;
begin
  s := 'A';
  c := s[1];
end;

Here you have a string with the content "A", which we convert to a char with the content "A".

With s[i] you get the letter at the corresponding position i of s. s[1] would be the first letter of s, because unlike an array, the counting of a string does not begin at 0 but starts with 1.
