## Description
<section id='description'>
An irrational decimal fraction is created by concatenating the positive integers:
<span style='display: block; text-align: center;'>0.12345678910<b style='color: red;'>1</b>112131415161718192021...</span>
It can be seen that the 12<sup>th</sup> digit of the fractional part is 1.
If <i>d<sub>n</sub></i> represents the <i>n</i><sup>th</sup> digit of the fractional part, find the value of the following expression.
<span style='display: block; text-align: center;'>d<sub>1</sub> × d<sub>10</sub> × d<sub>100</sub> × d<sub>1000</sub> × d<sub>10000</sub> × d<sub>100000</sub> × d<sub>1000000</sub></span>

## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
function champernownesConstant(n) {
let fractionalPart = '';
for (let i = 0; fractionalPart.length <= n; i++) {
fractionalPart += i.toString();
}
let product = 1;
for (let i = 0; i < n.toString().length; i++) {
const index = 10 ** i;
product *= parseInt(fractionalPart[index], 10);
}
return product;
}
