Hi ,
I've written following program that takes a four digits integer from user and shows the digits on the screen separately i.e. if user enters 7531, it displays 7,5,3,1 .Any one can tell me how it can be written better and how to display digit in linear order i.e. if user enters 7531, it displays 1,3,5,7 .Thanks

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std ;
main()
 
{       
           // declare variables 
           
           int number, digit;  
  
          // prompt the user for input
           
          cout << "Please enter 4-digit number:"; 
          cin >> number; 
  
        // get the first digit and display it on scree
       
          digit = number % 10; 
          cout << "The digits are: " << digit << " , ";   
 
  
            // get the remaining three digits number 
            
          number = number / 10; 
      
          // get the next digit
           
          digit = number % 10; 
          cout << digit << " , " ;
             
          // get the next digit    
          
          number = number /10 ;
          digit = number % 10 ;
          cout <<digit << " , " ;
          
          // get the remaining digit
          
          number = number /10 ;
          digit = number % 10 ;
          cout <<digit << " , " ;
                 
                 
             
  }

put the difigits in an array then sort the array.

To make the program better, put the 'work' in a loop. That way you only need one % and /. When the number is 0 the loop is finished.

Suggestion is to use std::string and std::sort. Its just a few liner :

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

int main(){
 std::string input;
 cin >> input; //get input
 std::sort(input.begin(),input.end()); //sort it
 cout << input << endl; //print it
 //or access each element like so 
 /*
     for(int i = 0; i < input.size(); ++i){ 
        cout << str[i] << " ";
     }
 */
}
