I'm not sure what you mean by "index" in this context, but do you just want
to convert the integer into a list of its digits? The simple way is to
convert it to a string, then convert each character back to an int, and put
the results into a list. More efficient way would be to strip the digits
off one at a time by dividing modulo 10.
