How to get the separate digits of an int number?

Question

I have numbers like 1100, 1002, 1022 etc. I would like to have the individual digits, for example for the first number 1100 I want to have 1, 1, 0, 0.

How can I get

Answer 1

I haven't seen anybody use this method, but it worked for me and is short and sweet:

int num = 5542;
String number = String.valueOf(num);
for(int i = 0; i < number.length(); i++) {
    int j = Character.digit(number.charAt(i), 10);
    System.out.println("digit: " + j);
}

This will output:

digit: 5
digit: 5
digit: 4
digit: 2
