# codePointAt

> Use the codePointAt task to retrieve the Unicode code point value of a character at a specific position in a string.

The `codePointAt` task retrieves the Unicode value for a character at a specific position in a string. The result is a non-negative integer representing the code point value of the character at the given position.

## Potential use case

This task helps with multilingual text and localization. If you have a dataset containing unique language characters, use `codePointAt` to return the code point value for each character and handle them according to the Unicode standard.

## Properties

| Incoming | Type   | Description                                                                                                                                      |
| :------- | :----- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `str`    | String | Required. The string to get the Unicode value from.                                                                                              |
| `pos`    | Number | The position of the character in `str` to return the code point value for. The first character is at position `0`, the second at `1`, and so on. |

| Outgoing         | Type   | Description                                                                                                                      |
| :--------------- | :----- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `codePointValue` | Number | The Unicode code point value of the character at the given `pos`. Returns `undefined` if there is no character at that position. |

## Example

The incoming `str` is `"Hello World"` and the `pos` is `1`, which corresponds to the letter `"e"`.

The first character position is `0`, the second is `1`, and so on.

The `codePointValue` returned is `101`, which is the Unicode value for the lowercase letter `"e"`.
