Splitting a number.

[+Azazel+]

Hey everyone!

I was working on this program and I came upon a problem.

When the user inputs:
85

I want it to be broken up into "8" and be stored in a variable, and into a "5" and be stored into a variable.

Another example would be: 74.
The the variable a = 7;
and the variable b = 4;

I thought of everything but I cant figure out a simple way of doing this.

If you can give any help, I will appreciate it!

Thank you,

Use the modulo (%) operator. This particular operator returns the remainder of one number divided by another. If you use num%10, you'll get the number in the tens column. You can then divide num by 10 and go num%10 again, perhaps until num is 0, unless you know how many digits the number will have.

Search the board, this is a common problem.
