I know that this is an extremely basic snippet but I'm a noob so I thought it was kinda cool. The purpose is to extract the digit of a integer that is specified. For example if you have the number 126 and you need the 2nd digit from the ones place you could say "getdigit(2,126)". The main purpose I found for it was counter animations.

+ Code Snippet


int getdigit(int whichdigit, int number)
{
	int divider=1;
	int numb=0;
	while (numb<whichdigit)
	{
		divider=divider*10;
		numb++;
        }

	number=number%divider;
	divider=divider/10;
	int enddivider=divider;

        while (divider>=1)
        {
	        number=number-number%divider;
	        divider=divider/10;
        }
	number=number/enddivider;
	return number;
}

...

int number=getdigit(162,2) //will return 6

Looks like DGDK to me

. Anyway, I don't use DGDK so I can't test it, but are you sure

+ Code Snippet

int getdigit(int whichdigit, int number)

shouldn't be

+ Code Snippet

int getdigit(int number, int whichdigit)

based on the way you call it here

+ Code Snippet

int number=getdigit(162,2) //will return 6

?

Looks cool though

Wait, in DBP code, couldn't you do this..

+ Code Snippet

Function GetDigit(number,digit)
     num$=str$(number)
     digit$=mid$(num$,digit)
     number=val(digit$)
Endfunction number

Or, in one line:

+ Code Snippet

num = val(mid$(str$(number,digit)))

That's what they WANT you to think...

I believe you mean:

+ Code Snippet

num = val(mid$(str$(number),digit))
