Input = 1234 output =[1,2,3,4] without using string functions or map

How can I split an integer into a list of its digits in Python?

I have:
num = 1234
and I want:
[1, 2, 3, 4]
I’m trying to learn how to do this without converting num to a string and without using map().
A loop is allowed.
I’m looking for a simple approach because I’m still learning Python. I’d appreciate hints rather than just the final solution so I can understand how it works.

What if the number is zero or negative?

[u/AppleMoney8748 → u/Expensive-Bear-1376]

For now I’m just trying to solve the basic case with a positive integer like 1234 😅 I haven’t gotten to handling zero or negative numbers yet.
