How to get the separate digits of an int number?

Question

I have numbers like 1100, 1002, 1022 etc. I would like to have the individual digits, for example for the first number 1100 I want to have 1, 1, 0, 0.

How can I get it in Java?

Answer 1

This uses the modulo 10 method to figure out each digit in a number greater than 0, then this will reverse the order of the array. This is assuming you are not using "0" as a starting digit.

This is modified to take in user input. This array is originally inserted backwards, so I had to use the Collections.reverse() call to put it back into the user's order.

    Scanner scanNumber = new Scanner(System.in);
    int userNum = scanNumber.nextInt(); // user's number

    // divides each digit into its own element within an array
    List<Integer> checkUserNum = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    while(userNum > 0) {
        checkUserNum.add(userNum % 10);
        userNum /= 10;
    }

    Collections.reverse(checkUserNum); // reverses the order of the array

    System.out.print(checkUserNum);

Try this:

int num= 4321
int first  =  num % 10;
int second =  ( num - first ) % 100 / 10;
int third  =  ( num - first - second ) % 1000 / 100;
int fourth =  ( num - first - second - third ) % 10000 / 1000;

You will get first = 1, second = 2, third = 3 and fourth = 4 ....

import java.util.Scanner;

class  Test 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args)   
    {  
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); 


    int num=sc.nextInt(); 
    System.out.println("Enter a number (-1 to end):"+num);
    int result=0;
    int i=0;
    while(true) 
    { 
      int n=num%10;
      if(n==-1){
        break;
      }
      i++;
      System.out.println("Digit"+i+" = "+n);
      result=result*10+n;
      num=num/10; 


      if(num==0) 
      { 
        break; 
      } 
    }
    }
}

Answer 4

see bellow my proposal with comments

          int size=i.toString().length(); // the length of the integer (i) we need to split;
           ArrayList<Integer> li = new ArrayList<Integer>(); // an ArrayList in whcih to store the resulting digits

        Boolean b=true; // control variable for the loop in which we will reatrive step by step the digits
        String number="1"; // here we will add the leading zero depending on the size of i
        int temp;  // the resulting digit will be kept by this temp variable

    for (int j=0; j<size; j++){
                        number=number.concat("0");
                    }

Integer multi = Integer.valueOf(number); // the variable used for dividing step by step the number we received 
                while(b){

                    multi=multi/10;
                    temp=i/(multi);
                    li.add(temp);
                    i=i%(multi);
                                        if(i==0){
                                        b=false;
                                        }


                }

                for(Integer in: li){
                    System.out.print(in.intValue()+ " ");
                }

Answer 5

To do this, you will use the % (mod) operator.

int number; // = some int

while (number > 0) {
    print( number % 10);
    number = number / 10;
}

The mod operator will give you the remainder of doing int division on a number.

So,

10012 % 10 = 2

Because:

10012 / 10 = 1001, remainder 2

Note: As Paul noted, this will give you the numbers in reverse order. You will need to push them onto a stack and pop them off in reverse order.

Code to print the numbers in the correct order:

int number; // = and int
LinkedList<Integer> stack = new LinkedList<Integer>();
while (number > 0) {
    stack.push( number % 10 );
    number = number / 10;
}

while (!stack.isEmpty()) {
    print(stack.pop());
}

Answer 6

Easier way I think is to convert the number to string and use substring to extract and then convert to integer.

Something like this:

int digits1 =Integer.parseInt( String.valueOf(201432014).substring(0,4));
    System.out.println("digits are: "+digits1);

ouput is 2014
