Char in Javascript

This sounds silly, but how does one assign a value to a char in Javascript?

This gives me a compile error:

Code (csharp):

1. var character : char;
2.  
3. character = 'g';

The error is "unexpected char '''."

 

Ok. I suppose if I had to use a .NET method that needed char input I could call a C# script.

 

The usual solution I've seen is to use the index operator on a string:

Code (csharp):

1. var c : char;
2. c = "s"[0];
3.  
4. // Or when calling a .Net method that needs a
5. // char argument;
6. SomeDotNetClass.MethodThatTakesAChar("s"[0]);
7.  

 

Neat technique. Thank you.

 

Something has been updated regarding this question, JS has char now:


function findMatchingParenthesis( str : String, openPos : int ) : int
{
var closePos :int = openPos;
var counter :int = 1;
while (counter > 0)
{
var c:char = str[++closePos];
if (c == '(') { counter++; }
else if (c == ')') { counter--; }
}
return closePos;
}
