In those situations you should just iterate over the string using `for…of`. `.symbolAt()` can be a useful replacement for `.charAt()` in case you only need to get the first symbol in the string. The same goes for `.codePointAt()` vs. `.charCodeAt()`. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
