Thread Subject: second digit

If I have

A = 23

Is there a way to specify the second digit so that

B=3?

Thanks!

B = mod(A,10);

Many ways, but you need to be more specific.

Do you mean just the units digit? OR do you
want the second most significant digit? Will
A always be a positive integer?

B = floor(A) - 10*floor(A/10)

If A can be negative, we might use this:

B = abs(fix(A) - 10*fix(A/10))
