So actually you want your program to take a number as input, and you want a way to get back a given digit n in the number?
For example you have the number 56231012, and you want a way to get a...

Show your try, then we can see what you did wrong.

Come on, this is already about the third time you post this question, you better spend your time in figuring out a solution to your problem, double posting is not going to help you.

Double posts:...

For all those who want quick help (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement8-2.html).

After 25 posts it's certainly time to become familiar with something which is utterly important on this forum.

>any idea?
I actually don't quite get the question of your assignment.
Also I see no code I can help you with.

But I know some interesting code which can help you to get help, here on this...

I also own a copy of that book and I have to say one thing: It's a great book!

Seems like I have a lot more luck than you:

Have success reading them :P

Please have a nice read (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).

I wouldn't complain when developing in Java takes longer, as long as I get paid per hour :P

Just an easy example:

String[] digits = {"", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six",
"seven", "eight", "nine"};
int number = 5;
System.out.println( digits[number] );
...

You would better make use of arrays to avoid such huge switches.

Do you imply that I have to write the program?

Well, you just posted your assignment.

Currently I'm jumping into Java (I have a C++ background), and I took Head First Java to get my first Java experience, I haven't finished it yet, but up until now it's a great book.
You might say:...

Well, as you have previous knowledge of C++, then you'll have no problems in understanding and applying these before start writing any other program:...

Well, apparently I was wrong, but it will work for numbers which consist out of three digits :)

Well, I guess it works for every number.
But feel free to tell me that I'm wrong
(If you find a number where this algorithm won't operate correctly on).

Edit:: No, it doesn't work for every...

Well, I know an algorithm:

The first step is concatenating the number one time after itself.
This will give us the opportunity to easily find the first part of the possibilities.
The second step...

>Is it ok and help with the errors?
Does it compile? Then it's syntactically correct.
Does it run and give the expected output? Then you're pretty sure that you haven't made a mistake :)

There's nothing wrong with being a beginner, and by the way: questions aren't stupid, as long as you learn something of it :)
