If the number is input as a string 'a', use strlen(a)

In reference to @Ace's answer, you can always take input as string, check number of chars, and then 'convert' it to int for later operations.

It's better to take huge values like Phone number as string because max value of int is 2,147,483,647. Usually a phone number contains 10 digits plus a 2 digit country code. So, it is a better decision to input them as a string.

int flag=0; int num=63517381; while (num>0) { flag++; num/=10; } print (flag);//idk the syntax for output in C. The output will be 8. This is how to do it with Integer input. However, I still recommend you use string input

So in other words, how many digits there are in a number? Use a while loop, and see how many times it takes to divide the number before it's less than one. int numDigits = 0; int num = 135; while(num >= 1){ numDigits++; num /= 10; } Or If the number is a string (due to 0 in front), just get the string length.
