:relfileprefix: ../../
:mrdocs:

Gets the "i"th character of the Cord and returns it, provided that 0 <= i < Cord.size().

== Synopsis

Declared in `<absl/strings/cord.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
char
operator[](size_t i) const;
----

== Description

NOTE: This routine is reasonably efficient. It is roughly logarithmic based on the number of chunks that make up the cord. Still, if you need to iterate over the contents of a cord, you should use a CharIterator/ChunkIterator rather than call operator[] repeatedly in a loop.

== Return Value

The character at index `i`.

== Parameters

[cols="1,4"]
