Hi Varun, Can you email me off line, please. Thanks, Celia Celia-rodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Varun Khosla Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 10:18 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Hi Rick Hi Celia, You cannot do it directly with numeric datatypes; however, converting one to string can do the same, as: int num = 281; int hundredPart = int.Parse(num.ToString() [0] .ToString()); // I've broken the statement to make it easy to follow. First, you convert the number into string. Then, you access the first character (number in this case) using the character array notation (a string is simply a sequence of characters). And lastly, you simply convert the first character (2) back to int using the Parse method. I have used the ToString method in the last step (to convert the character into string) because, the int.Parse method requires an argument of type string (and not a char type) to operate on.
