Maybe this will make more sense to my question:
[0] > say chr(57)
9
[0] > say ord("9")
57
I am dealing with a string, which is a collection of
characters. `"9"` in not a number. It is a character
(ascii 57) that "looks" like a number to the human eye.
This is why I wanted to know what you meant by "digit".
