increment-digits

Incrementing each digit of a number adds 1 to every digit independently — 12345 becomes 23456. Digits at 9 wrap to 0 by default (or 10 in non-wrap mode, expanding the number). Useful for puzzles, simple obfuscation, and digit-pattern exercises. The ZTools Increment Digits tool handles both wrap and non-wrap modes, supports negative numbers, and works on lists for bulk operations.

Use cases​

Generate test variants​

A number is 12345; need similar test values. Increment digits gives 23456 — same length, different digits.

Simple obfuscation​

Show modified version of a number for visual reference without exposing original. Reversible by decrement.

Number puzzles​

Recreational math: increment digits, observe patterns.

How it works​

  1. Paste number — Single number or list (one per line).
  2. Pick wrap mode — 9 → 0 (wrap, length unchanged) or 9 → 10 (no wrap, length grows by 1 per 9).
  3. Apply — Each digit incremented independently.

Examples​

Input: 12345 (wrap)

Output: 23456.

Input: 99 (wrap)

Output: 00.

Input: 99 (no wrap)

Output: 1010 (each 9 → 10, expanding by 1 char each).

Frequently asked questions​

Use cases?

Mostly recreational / puzzle / curiosity. Not a real cryptographic operation.

Tips​

  • Wrap mode preserves length — useful for fixed-width fields.
  • Non-wrap mode grows the number — useful for puzzles where 9→10 carries make sense.
