Answer 1

Your program will evaluate input/10 but won't know what to do with this number. You need to set input equal to this value or it will just be ignored.
Eg. input = input/10

Answer 2

The statement input / 10; doesn't do anything, you probably want to use input /= 10 (same with input * 10)

Answer 3

It doesn't. Unless you use something like return input / 10. A single statement "input / 10" will never have any effect
