Question

I am a highschool java programer (semi-experienced in c++) and I have the assignment of reading in a 3 digit number and outputting it as words. If I could just input each digit seperatly this program would be a breeze, but I must take in all 3 at once, AND do so through breezy swing windows built in, input. Can I just take input in as the int array? must I take it in as a string then parse it some how positon by position into the array, and if so how do I do so?

Answer 1

You could accept the number as an int only

then

use the method we use when extracting digits

Hint

number % 10 is last digit
number/10 removes last digit from number

Eg:

456%10 = 6
456/10 = 45

then 45%10 = 5
45/10 = 4

then 4%10 = 4
4/10 = 0
