Find the Nth digit from right in base B of the given number in Decimal base

Given a number A in decimal base, the task is to find the Nth digit from last in base B

Examples:

Input: A = 100, N = 3, B = 4
Output: 2
Explanation:
(100)4 = 1210
3rd digit from last is 2



Input: A = 50, N = 3, B = 5
Output: 2
Explanation:
(50)5 = 200
3rd digit from last is 2

Approach: The idea is to skip (N-1) digits of the given number in base B by dividing the number with B, (N – 1) times and then return the modulo of the current number by the B to get the Nth digit from the right.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
  
// Function to compute Nth digit
// from right in base B
int nthDigit(int a, int n, int b)
{
  
    // Skip N-1 Digits in Base B
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        a = a / b;
  
    // Nth Digit from right in Base B
    return a % b;
}
  
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int a = 100;
    int n = 3;
    int b = 4;
    cout << nthDigit(a, n, b);
    return 0;
}
