        While there is code out there that does it, since you are doing it in C,
it's probably much better for you to do it yourself.

        The algorithm basically is:

given x:
hundreds_digit = 0;
tens_digit = 0;
ones_digit = 0;

while (x >= 100)
{
        x = x - 100;
        hundreds_digit++;
}
while (x >= 10)
{
        x = x - 10;
        tens_digit++;
}
ones_digit = x;

Done.
