Finding a Specific Digit of a Number

Question

I\'m trying to find the nth digit of an integer of an arbitrary length. I was going to convert the integer to a string and use the character at index n...

Answer 1

A more general approach:

template
int nth_digit(int value, int digit)
{
    return (value / (int)pow((double)base, digit)) % base;
}

Just lets you do the same thing for different base numbers (e.g. 16, 32, 64, etc.).
