There are many ways to get the first character of sting in C#:1. Using FirstOrDefault() method.

2. Using the index of the char.
Here you can directly use the index of the first char which is 0.Example
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
string website = "Mockstacks.com";
char firstChar = website[0];
Console.WriteLine(firstChar);

3. Using first index if array from string.

char[] charArray = website.ToCharArray();
char firstChar = charArray[0];
