Is there a way to separate a string into an array of characters? Or does Kotlin have an equivalent to .charAt()?

Yes. `String.toCharArray()`.  
And yes: [String - Kotlin Programming Language](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)

```auto
"Hello World".get(2)
// OR
"Hello World"[2]

```
