The Champernowne constant is a real number whose digits in decimal representation come from the concatenation of all consecutive positive integers starting from 1.
That is
0.1234567891011121314151617181920...
This constant is of interest because it can be understood to contain an encoding of any past, present or future information, because any given sequence of numbers can be shown to exist somewhere in the champernowne representation.
Return the nth digit of the champernowne constant. The function takes an array of position values and returns an array of digits corresponding to those positions.
Examples:
[1 2 3 4 5] returns [1 2 3 4 5]
[10 11 12 13 14 15] returns [1 0 1 1 1 2]
[188 289] returns [9 9]

Please change the example [188 289] in your problem description to [188 189], as I believe [188 289] should return [9 1], rather than [9 9]. (By the way, great job picking 189 to use for a check. Right at the end of the two-digit numbers.)
