    Default Java application Hint

    Hello guys,


    I need a hint for creating that application:

    "Use the methods developed in parts (a) and (b) to write a method displayDigits that
    receives an integer between 1 and 99999 and displays it as a sequence of digits, separating
    each pair of digits by two spaces. For example, the integer 4562 should appear as
    4 5 6 2
    Incorporate the methods into an application that inputs an integer and calls display-
    Digits by passing the method the integer entered. Display the results."

    note: the methods developed in parts a and b was to divide a by b and calculate the quotient and the remainder

    I've think of it as converting that integer number into a String one and using charAt with FOR loop. but it seems that the question is forcing me to use both division and remainder to solve it


    Thanks in advance

    use both division and remainder to solve it
    Write a small test program to use / & % with a number to see what they do.
    What does 123 % 10 give?
    What does 123 / 10 give?

    Using those two operators you can extract the base 10 digits one at a time.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
