    count digits

    Hi,

    This is my first post, and if you read my bio you'll see I'm only taking an intro class.

    I'm trying to find a function that will read digits of an int, but only a certain type (i.e. only the zeroes, or 4's, or whatever).

    Another question: is there a way to read an integer right to left?

    Thanks.

    -->Mariana

    p.s. Yes, this is for an assignment, but I just want a hint or push in the right direction, not the whole thing done for me.

    i suggest reading the input as a string and then doing what you must with it like reversing , extracting specific digits etc.

    you could also try using modulo since you're using ints...

    Yes, using modulo effectively will 'read' get each digit from right to left.

    The % operator. It calculates the remainder of a division.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Thank you! I was racking my brains for a while, then it clicked.

    I know it as modulus, but it's all the same.
