How to get the Nth digit of an integer with bit-wise operations?

Question

Example. 123456, and we want the third from the right (\'4\') out.

The idea in practise is to access each digit seperately (ie. 6 5 4 3 2 1).

C/C++/C# preferred.

Answer 1

You could try a bitwise shift-left (for N-1) and then read the digit at [0], as this could be an assembler approach.

123456 -> 456 -> read first digit
