Compute the digit in a given place of the positional representation of a number
ResourceFunction["NthDigit"][x,n] returns the nth base-10 digit of x. | |
ResourceFunction["NthDigit"][x,n,base] returns the nth digit of x in the specified base. |
Compute the nth digit of a given number:
In[1]:= | ![]() |
Out[1]= | ![]() |
Give the 2500th digit of π in base 10:
In[2]:= | ![]() |
Out[2]= | ![]() |
Compute the base-10 digits of a number less than 1:
In[3]:= | ![]() |
Out[3]= | ![]() |
Give the first 10 digits of 19/7 in base 3:
In[4]:= | ![]() |
Out[4]= | ![]() |
Noninteger bases are allowed:
In[5]:= | ![]() |
Out[5]= | ![]() |
Compute the number of 1s in the first 10^4 binary digits of π:
In[6]:= | ![]() |
Out[6]= | ![]() |
Plot the distribution of first 10,000 digits of π in base 47:
In[7]:= | ![]() |
Out[7]= | ![]() |
NthDigit ignores the sign of its first argument:
In[8]:= | ![]() |
Out[8]= | ![]() |
NthDigit gives Indeterminate if more digits than the precision are requested:
In[9]:= | ![]() |
Out[9]= | ![]() |
In[10]:= | ![]() |
Out[10]= | ![]() |
Positional representations only work for bases greater than 1. Using an unsuitable base triggers a message:
Out[10]= | ![]() |
