How to extract digits from a number from left to right?

Question

I know that I can extract digits from a number from right to left by implementing something like:

while (number => 10)
  digit = number modulo 10
  number = number / 10

But is there a way to do it from left to right that works similar to this one, simply by using stuff like the modulo value?

Answer 1

If you don't have problem with recursion approach then here is a solution with little change in your code:-

def get_digit(num):
    if num < 10:
        print(num)
    else:
        get_digit(num // 10)
        print(num % 10)

Usage

>>> get_digit(543267)
5
4
3
2
6
7
