Anyway, the trivial code was also in my calc already and Wes already posted it, so I won't repeat it. I do want to post this other version which splits the digits from a single loop.
Is quite straightforward, uses the newRPL-only DIGITS command to extract digits off a number ( <number> <start_digit> <end_digit> DIGITS):

Code:



«
  100 999 FOR 'K'
    K 0 0 DIGITS 3 ^
    K 1 1 DIGITS 3 ^ +
    K 2 2 DIGITS 3 ^ +
    IF K == THEN  K  END
  NEXT

This version runs in 0.097 seconds, while Wes fastest runs in 0.068 seconds. That's when run from within a program, if executed from the keyboard it's 0.556 seconds and 0.531 seconds respectively due to power-saving clock management.

Hello Claudio....was this written and run on an HP Prime or a different calculator? I was curious about how you arrived at the very accurate msec. timing.
