Of course you're having a problem with your coding. If you were having issues with your breakfast, you wouldn't be here would you?

We're not writing even a single line for you though.

@jhdho0204: I'm sure that you are able to solve this question. If n=1234, describe, step by step, how you would get the answer.

Well my code is:
var n: int

put "Type in an integer: "..
get n

for 1.. n
n mod 2= 1
put n
end for

n mod 2  = 1

You're not even trying. This doesn't do anything. I'm not sure if this will even compile.

Mathematically, how do you get the least significant digit in a number? The second least? Once you figure that out, it's a walk in the park to output it.

Here's a hint: You CAN (and probably should) use modulus.

Or you could get the number as a string instead of an integer.

var num: string 

Then use string operations to get the result you want.
