android - I have String with numbers when getting the char from string it shows '0'48 in kotlin. How to get the char alone in kotlin

Question

Here we initialize a variable and get the first element but the expected result is not obtained

var temBits = "00000000000000000001"
temBits.elementAt(0)`
Result = '0' 48
expected = 0

Answer 1

The result is displayed as 48 as 48 is the ascii value of 0. Converting to integer would help.

Try:

temBits.elementAt(0).toString().toInt()
