Getting digits from mpz_t integers

[cino hilliard]

Hi Rafael,
This works to get the digits from an mpz_t variable. I did it with a char arraybut you could use pointers if you like.
 
#include <stdio.h>#include <math.h>#include <windows.h>#include <string.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include "gmp.h"#define getz(a) mpz_inp_str(a,stdin,10)
int main(int argc, char * argv[]){int i;char digit[2000];char *tmp;  mpz_t num;printf("                     Get  mpz digits \n");while(1){  mpz_init(num);printf("num\n");getz(num);mpz_get_str (digit,10,num);for(i=0;i<strlen(digit);i++)printf("%c",(int)digit[i]);printf("\n");}  return 0;}
 
Input/Output:
                     Get  mpz digitsnum31415926535897932384626433833141592653589793238462643383num
