Please how can I get the number of digits after a decimal point.

for example:

int a = 3446.64643231;

Why do you need this? Please show an example of how it would be useful.

I see that you have deleted your original post and now declare a as a double.

Doesn't make any difference as I cannot see how it can be done reliably.

Please answer my previous question.
