C++ - how to find the length of an integer

Question

I\'m trying to find a way to find the length of an integer (number of digits) and then place it in an integer array. The assignment also calls for doing this without the use

Answer 1

The number of digits of an integer n in any base is trivially obtained by dividing until you're done:

unsigned int number_of_digits = 0;

do {
     ++number_of_digits; 
     n /= base;
} while (n);
