Use charAt() method to get the last character of the string in JavaScript. The first character in the string has an index of 0, so the last character in the string has an index of str.length - 1.

myString.charAt(myString.length-1);

Since in Javascript, a string is a char array, you can access the last character by the length of the string.

myString[myString.length -1];
