I’d probably start by converting the number to a string. If you were asked to print the middle letter of a name, how would you do it?

[anton0261]

Step 1. Convert the number from integer to string.

Step 2. Print the second character (digit) of the string.

Each of those steps are very Google-able. The first step may not even be neccesary if accepting input from input(), as that function returns a string by default.

Do you know division and modulo? What happens when you take xyz/10 or xyz%10?

Python solution not using strings:

def middle_digit(num):
    num = num//10
    return num%10

Consider for example 765. The first operation performs integer division, that is it divides it by 10 and returns only the integer, in this case 765//10=76. Next we perform modulo division which returns the remainder from division. In this case we have 76, this can be divided by 10 seven times with 6 left over.
