Hi,

How can I count the number of digits of a variable...

A=[12875] how can I get 5 as the number of digits in A?

itoa() then len() of string.

Regards

Maybe I should have been more clear and checked the syntax of CCS before posting.

Code:

char str[10];
int8 len;

itoa(A,10,str);

len = strlen(str);


len contains the number of decimals from A

much quicker:
is it>=10? if not, one digit.
else is it>=100? if not, two digits...
and to optimize ever further, start by comparing to the middle value. For 5-digit number, is it >=1000 ? This will statistically improve the timing.
