a math related question
hello:
First I know the rules on Homework related questions,
I wrote my script, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do one math problem.
How do I take a zip code and seperate the idvidual digits?
I used the modulus expression and divided the number by 10 ^ n
but that only worked for the last digit.
any MATH revelations would be great.
