Question

Using a while loop, create an algorithm extractDigits that prints the individual digits of a positive integer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The algorithm is as follows

1. Start

2. Declare Integer N

3. Input N

4. While N > 0:

4.1    Print(N%10)

4.2   N = N/10

5. Stop

Explanation:

This line starts the algorithm

1. Start

This declares an integer variable

2. Declare Integer N

Here, the program gets user input N

3. Input N

The while iteration begins here and it is repeated as long as N is greater than 0

4. While N > 0:

This calculates and prints N modulus 10; Modulus of 10 gets the individual digit of the input number

4.1    Print(N%10)

This remove the printed digit

4.2   N = N/10

The algorithm ends here

5. Stop

Bonus:

The algorithm in Python is as follows:

n = 102

while n>0:

    print(int(n%10))

    n= int(n/10)
