the integers from 1 to 1000 are printed on a list. how many times does the digit 8 appear?
To find out how many times the digit 8 appears in the integers from 1 to 1000, you can follow these steps:
1. Initialize a counter variable to keep track of the number of times the digit 8 appears. Let's call it "count" and set it to 0.
2. Loop through each number from 1 to 1000.
3. For each number, convert it to a string. This allows us to treat the number as a sequence of characters.
4. Check each character in the string representation of the number. If the character is '8', increment the count by 1.
5. After the loop ends, the value of "count" will represent the number of times the digit 8 appears.
Here's a Python code snippet that demonstrates this method:
```python
count = 0
for number in range(1, 1001):
for digit in str(number):
if digit == '8':
count += 1
print(count)
```
When you run this code, it will output the total count of the digit 8 in the range from 1 to 1000. In this case, the answer is 300, as the digit 8 appears 300 times in that range.
