Pset 1 Credit - trying to use count to solve the problem but returns 0

Question

I am trying not to use Arrays to solve this problem. However, the answer keeps showing as 0. Can someone pls help to explain?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Below is the code: I am trying 1. get the length of the credit card number 2. sum from the last digit up, i, i+2, i+4, until i < length of credit card number 3. sum from the second last digit up... But i am already stuck at step 2

int count=0;
while (number>0)
{   
    number=number/10;
    count++;
}   


int sum1=0;
int sum2=0;    
int i;  
for (i=0;i<count;i+=2)   
{
    sum1+=number % 10;
    number= number/10;
}
printf("%i\n", sum1);   

Answer 1

The while loop divides number by 10 repeatedly until it is 0. That means that when the code drops down to the for loop, number will always be 0. The original value of number is lost after the while loop. The code needs to preserve the original value of number somewhere.
