    Get the digits of an int without using arrays

    I want to get the digits of a number the user entered without using arrays.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you very much.

    Yes, simple arithmetic.
    If you divide by then, you will chop off a digit.
    If you then divide by then and take the reminder...

    And then do what with them?

    And yes, possible.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Divide means using division: 100 / 10 = 10.
    Remainder: 10 / 3 = 1 (because we can easily divide by up to 9, and then there's 1 left; basic low math).
