how would you print numbers from the least significant digits to the most significant digits (like the numbers shown on the x-axis)? Thank you

Answer 1

Put the number in a temp.

The next digit to print is temp % 10

Divide 10 into temp.

If temp isn't 0, repeat the prior two steps.

Answer 2

Printing from the LSD to the MSD is actually simpler then the other way around. The reason why is that the remainder/division technique to extract the digits of a number produces the least-significant before the most-significant.

if (i == 0)
    output_digit(0)
else
    while (i != 0)
        output_digit(i % base)
        i = i / base

This will output digits in the order you want. For base 10, the number 123 will first output 3, then 2 and finally 1.
