Wait...whaaa???  So I thought you were screwing with us, but it does in fact work and returns 'App'.  At first glance I looked and thought that it should return 4 characters but then realized that crossing 0 was effectively a digit which makes returning 3 characters correct.  Dang son you almost got me!
