find the kth character in a string in rust

To find the kth character in a string in Rust, you can use square brackets to access the character at the desired index. In Rust, strings are UTF-8 encoded, meaning that each character can take up a variable number of bytes.

Here's an example of finding the kth character in a string:

main.rs
fn main() {
    let s = String::from("Hello, world!");
    let k = 4;
    let c = s.chars().nth(k).unwrap();
    println!("The {}th character in the string is '{}'", k, c);
}
175 chars
7 lines

In this example, we create a new string s containing the text "Hello, world!". We then declare the variable k to be the index of the character we want to find (counting from 0). To get the kth character, we can use the chars method of the string, which produces an iterator over its characters. We can then use the nth method of the iterator to get the character at the kth index. Lastly, we use unwrap to get the character itself, since the nth method returns an Option, which can be None if the index is out of bounds.

Finally, we print out the kth character using println! and the {} placeholder to insert the variables k and c into the string.
