Get a specific digit of a number from an int in Java [duplicate]

Answer 1

You will have to do some math magic to get the nth digit of an arbitrary number, basically using division and modulo 10 if you want it to be a number. Otherwise string ops will work.

int nth ( int number, int index ) {
    return ((int)number / java.lang.Math.pow(10, index)) % 10;
}

char nth ( int number, int index ) {
    return String.valueOf(java.lang.Math.abs(number)).charAt(index);
}

Mind you the modulo method will take form the right side and the string will take from the left;
