i would do this: int digits, num = 124682; for (digits = 0; num; digits++) num /= 10; cout << digits << '\n';

// my one-liner to count digits using a mathematical approach #include <math.h> . . . int i = 124682, nDigits; nDigits = floor(log10(abs(i == 0 ? 1 : i))) + 1; The code is unreadable and relies on a mathematical "trick", so I don't strongly recommend this approach. Here is sample code that uses it: https://code.sololearn.com/c3EwDn9O4Gbg/?ref=app
