How do I make my script recognize which button it should press.

I am trying to make a script which would be able to solve a math problem and after that use the button ids to enter the solution.

var a = document.getElementById("txtTehtav").textContent.match(/\d+/g)
let [x, y] = a
var answer = x*y

This part of the code takes the problem (for example 33x40) and splits it in a way that 33 will be x and 40 will be y. After that it will calculate it and then the variable will be the answer.
Now from here on I want to make it input the answer. I know the ids to the buttons (buttons range from 0-9, with ids of num(1), num(2) and so on. I want my script to split the answer (in this case it would be 1320, so it would split it into 1(o); 3(p); 2(q); 0(r) and enter it with

num(1) num(3) num(2) num(0) num(OK)

How can this be done? Any help is appreciated!

What I have tried:

Nothing, I'm not really sure on how to solve this.

- First, your buttons each need an id and the button's numerical value could be it (like id='8')
- Next, you convert you string in whatever manner you wish to a list of the individual character.
- Then you give each button a click event to do whatever it is you want to do.
- Finally, loop through the list and execute the click events in code
