How to access each digit of a number in matlab without converting it into string?

How to access each digit of a number in matlab?

Answer 1

>> A = 54321;
>> rem(floor(A./(10.^(floor(log10(A)):-1:0))),10)
ans =
     5     4     3     2     1
>> A = 918287465;
>> rem(floor(A./(10.^(floor(log10(A)):-1:0))),10)
ans =
     9     1     8     2     8     7     4     6     5

But converting to a string first will be faster and simpler:

>> A = 918287465;
>> int2str(A)-'0'
ans =
     9     1     8     2     8     7     4     6     5

You may use a foor loop and keep on dividing the number with 10.Use the remainder(modulo operator).
