Basic Program Please Help!!
Basically I am to create a program that does the following.

Prompt a user to input a 5 digit value.

When the user inputs a value such as 12345 and hits enter

the program should put tabs inbetween each individual digit

such as 1 2 3 4 5


I cannot find this out for the life of me......heres sort of what I have I know its wrong but if someone could please edit my code and bold what they've changed I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!!


heres the only encouragement my teacher has provided...


There are two ways to do it, either treat user input as string and use substring method to get individual digits.



Other way is to treat user input as a number, and perform division and remainder operations on it to get required digits




Heres is my code

Code:
//******************************************************************** // Five.java Author: // Program breaks apart a five-digit number. //******************************************************************** package assignment2; import java.util.Scanner; public class Five { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prompts user to enter a five-digit number then outputs tab spaces between each digit. //----------------------------------------------------------------- public static void main( String args[] ) { String digits; Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in); System.out.print ("Please enter a five digit number: "); digits = scan.nextLine(); System.out.println (n1+ "\t" + n2+ "\t" + n3+ "\t" n4+ "\t"n5+ "\t"); } // end main } // end class Five
