[sakon93]

Hi,
im working on a program that can read number by separate digits
ex: if user put in 32, then it will read as 3 and 2.

You can read it in as a string and parse character by character.

Like this?

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string numStr;
	cout << "Enter a number: "; 
	cin >> numStr;// store it as a string

	for(size_t i=0; i<numStr.length(); ++i)
		cout << numStr[i] << " ";// output each character

	cout << endl;
	return 0;
}

If I am not mistaken Borland Turbo C++ doesn't support C++ strings (though it does have the string library).
It uses an array of chars to works as a string!

Or you could start it as an int, and just type_cast it to a string when you need to pull out individual digits. This way you can still use it in arithemetics and what not. I think if you start it as a string and convert it to an int it will create issues due to ASCII codes. I may be mistaken though
