Way to get number of digits in an int?

Question

Is there a neater way for getting the number of digits in an int than this method?

int numDigits = String.valueOf(1000).length();

Answer 1

You could could the digits using successive division by ten:

int a=0;

if (no < 0) {
    no = -no;
} else if (no == 0) {
    no = 1;
}

while (no > 0) {
    no = no / 10;
    a++;
}

System.out.println("Number of digits in given number is: "+a);
