digit [terminology]

Terminology¶

Usage¶

• Use for one decimal or base-specific digit.
• Keep the full word because d can be confused with a generic value or direction.
• It is appropriate for values extracted with divmod or character conversion.

rev = 0
while x:
    x, digit = divmod(x, 10)
    # ...
    rev = rev * 10 + digit
