How to take the nth digit of a number in Maxscript

[CoxIII_Charles]

Hello,

I am trying to get specific values from an Integer in Maxscript (ex. 4321, I want to get the 2nd digit which is 2). This fairly simple to do in Python.  You can either use division and remainder methods:

n=2
value = 4321
SecondDigit = value // 10**n % 10

Or you can convert it to a string and get the character/digit:

value = 4321
NumberString = str(value)
int(NumberString[1]) 

I am having a really hard time doing this in Maxscript.  Maxscript is a bit different from python and converting this logic over is difficult. would someone be able to point me in the direction?

The count is from left to right, so the second number is 2, not 3.

(
	numberVal = 4231
	((numberVal as string)[2]) as integer
)

To get the second from right to left:

(
	numberVal = 4231
	numberStr = numberVal as string
	
	numberStr[numberStr.count - 1] as integer
)

you can do almost the same thing in maxscript:

int (mod (123456/(10 ^ n)) 10)
