see code

Code

class Solution {
    public int findNthDigit(int n) {
        long count = 9;
        int len = 1;
        int start = 1;
        while (n > count * len) {
            n -= count * len;
            len++;
            count *= 10; // 9*1 + 90 * 2 + 900 *3 + ... --> digits
            start *= 10;
        }

        start += (n - 1) / len; //start is 10/100/1000 minus 1 for begin with 9/99/999
        String s = Integer.toString(start);
        return Character.getNumericValue(s.charAt((n - 1) % len));
    }
}
