Comparing the value of a string index to a variable.

Hi, coding a simple program to compare an entered number to a randomly generated one. The number of digits are restricted so I'm just trying to figure out how to refer to the index value in a string and then compare it to the variable I want. I don't know if bash automatically indexes strings, so if I'm confusing anybody sorry.
