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

int returndigit(int n,int d)
{
    d=d-1;
    while(d--)
    {
        n/=10;
    }
    return (n%10);
}
