没有字符串API，没有utils，没有类型转换，只是纯java迭代->

public static int getNumberOfDigits(int input) {
    int numOfDigits = 1;
    int base = 1;
    while (input >= base * 10) {
        base = base * 10;
        numOfDigits++;
    }
    return numOfDigits;
 }

如果你愿意，你可以追求更大的价值。

Marian的解决方案适用于长类型数字(高达9,223,372,036,854,775,807)，以防有人想要复制和粘贴它。 在程序中，我写了这个，因为10000以内的数字更有可能，所以我为它们做了一个特定的分支。不管怎样，这不会有太大的区别。

public static int numberOfDigits (long n) {     
    // Guessing 4 digit numbers will be more probable.
    // They are set in the first branch.
    if (n < 10000L) { // from 1 to 4
        if (n < 100L) { // 1 or 2
            if (n < 10L) {
                return 1;
            } else {

            }
        } else { // 3 or 4

                return 3;
            } else {

            }
        }

最快的方法:分而治之。

Assuming your range is 0 to MAX_INT, then you have 1 to 10 digits. You can approach this interval using divide and conquer, with up to 4 comparisons per each input. First, you divide [1..10] into [1..5] and [6..10] with one comparison, and then each length 5 interval you divide using one comparison into one length 3 and one length 2 interval. The length 2 interval requires one more comparison (total 3 comparisons), the length 3 interval can be divided into length 1 interval (solution) and a length 2 interval. So, you need 3 or 4 comparisons.

没有除法，没有浮点运算，没有昂贵的对数，只有整数比较。

代码(长但快):

if (n < 100000) {
    // 5 or less
    if (n < 100){
        // 1 or 2
        if (n < 10)
            return 1;
        else
            return 2;
    } else {
        // 3 or 4 or 5
        if (n < 1000)
            return 3;
        else {
            // 4 or 5
            if (n < 10000)
                return 4;
            else
                return 5;
        }
    }
} else {
    // 6 or more
    if (n < 10000000) {
        // 6 or 7
        if (n < 1000000)
            return 6;
        else
            return 7;
    } else {
        // 8 to 10
        if (n < 100000000)
            return 8;
        else {
            // 9 or 10
            if (n < 1000000000)
                return 9;
            else

Edit

在我写完基准测试之后，我偷偷地看了一下Integer。toString来自Java 6，我发现它使用:

final static int [] sizeTable = { 9, 99, 999, 9999, 99999, 999999, 9999999,
                                  99999999, 999999999, Integer.MAX_VALUE };

// Requires positive x
static int stringSize(int x) {
    for (int i=0; ; i++)
        if (x <= sizeTable[i])
            return i+1;
}

我以我的分治方案为基准:

分治法:104毫秒 Java 6解决方案-迭代和比较:406ms

我的速度大约是Java 6解决方案的4倍。

我们可以使用递归循环来实现这一点

    public static int digitCount(int numberInput, int i) {
        while (numberInput > 0) {
        i++;
        numberInput = numberInput / 10;
        digitCount(numberInput, i);
        }
        return i;
    }

    public static void printString() {
        int numberInput = 1234567;
        int digitCount = digitCount(numberInput, 0);

        System.out.println("Count of digit in ["+numberInput+"] is ["+digitCount+"]");
    }

或者相反，你可以检查这个数字是否大于或小于所需的数字。

    public void createCard(int cardNumber, int cardStatus, int customerId) throws SQLException {
    if(cardDao.checkIfCardExists(cardNumber) == false) {
        if(cardDao.createCard(cardNumber, cardStatus, customerId) == true) {
            System.out.println("Card created successfully");
        } else {

        }
    } else {
        System.out.println("Card already exists, try with another Card Number");
        do {
            System.out.println("Enter your new Card Number: ");
            scan = new Scanner(System.in);
            int inputCardNumber = scan.nextInt();
            cardNumber = inputCardNumber;
        } while(cardNumber < 95000000);
        cardDao.createCard(cardNumber, cardStatus, customerId);
    }
}

}

那简单的数学呢?除以10，直到0。

public static int getSize(long number) {
        int count = 0;
        while (number > 0) {
            count += 1;
            number = (number / 10);
        }
        return count;
    }
