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

char secondChar = name.charAt(1);

Explanation:

Using Java programming language

The variable secondChar is created and it is assigned the value at index 1 of the string using the charAt() method of Java

Note that Strings are zero indexed so the first character is at index 0 and the second is at index 1 and so on.

A complete program is given below

public class num4 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       String name = "Smith";

       char secondChar = name.charAt(1);

       System.out.println("The second character is "+secondChar);

   }

}
