Can someone help me?

I need to enter a starting value that is more than 2 digits long. However I cannot get my program to read the digits as separate integers. Is there a way to do this?
Here is the start of my program, so you can see how i need it:

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int i[100000], f[100000];
int con, m, n, p, q, rept, count, r, final = 1;

main()
{
for(n=0;n<100000;n++)
{
i[n] = 0;
f[n] = 0;
}
printf("Enter a starting value between 1 and 9: ");
scanf("%d",&i[0]);
printf("How many times do you want to run the sequence? ");
scanf("%d",&rept);
.......

Thanks!

I am not sure I understand what you mean here ...

The "starting value" is the value you read into i[0], right?

And a starting value that is "more than 2 digits long" would be, say, 21, right?

When you're asked by your current program for a starting value, and you enter 21, then 21 will be the value stored in i[0]. This works.

But this is not what you want? Then I obviously don't understand what it is that your program should do, please enlighten me ...

My program is to calculate the conway sequence, which is:
3
13
1113
3113
132113 .......

And i want to be able to do this for a 2 digit starting value, my program works but not correctly. It does the following:
21
121
11121 ....... and uses the 21 as one value

but i need it to do this:
21
1211
111221..... and take the 2 and the 1 separately

The conway is the look and say sequence if that helps!

Thank you very much for your reply!

Ok, I think I have understood. Print the read-in value to a char array using the function sprintf(). Then you can access the digits individually as they have been converted to chars.
