How to take the nth digit of a number in python

by

You can do it with integer division and remainder methods

def get_digit(number, n):
    return number // 10**n % 10

get_digit(987654321, 0)
# 1

get_digit(987654321, 5)
# 6

The // performs integer division by a power of ten to move the digit to the ones position, then the % gets the remainder after division by 10. Note that the numbering in this scheme uses zero-indexing and starts from the right side of the number.
