Java string.codePointBefore() method to get Char before a position of a string

String.codePointBefore() Returns the unicode value of the character present before the input position of the string.
Syntax

String.codePointBefore(input)

input is an integer staring from 0 ( first position )

Here are some examples with output.

String my_str="Welcome to plus2net";
System.out.println(my_str.codePointBefore(1)); // 87
System.out.println(my_str.codePointBefore(3)); // 108
System.out.println(my_str.codePointBefore(15)); // 115

If we use input as 0 (first char is at position 0), then we will get error like this

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
