Convert a number to a list of integers

Question

How do I write the magic function below?

>>> num = 123
>>> lst = magic(num)
>>>
>>> print lst, type(lst)
[1,         


        

Answer 1

num = map(int, list(str(num)))

Answer 2

a = 123456
b = str(a)
c = []

for digit in b:
    c.append (int(digit))

print c

Answer 3

You mean this?

num = 1234
lst = [int(i) for i in str(num)]

Answer 4

Just use :

a= str (num)
lst = list(a)

Answer 5

If it is named as magic, why not just use magic:

def magic(x):
    if x < 10:
        return [x]
    else:
        return magic(x//10) + [x%10]

Answer 6

magic = lambda num: map(int, str(num))

then just do

magic(12345) 

or

magic(someInt) #or whatever
