help with user input into arrays

[yodadbl07]

hey ive been messing around with this program to take a user inputed number, put it into an array and then reverse the number. I also want it to omit unecessary 0's at the begging.

for example if the user inputs 100 the reverse shows 1, becuase with 001 the leading zeros are unecessary.

I finally did it a complicated way and was wondering if there is an easier way to get the user inputed number into the array, and prefferably into an int array not a char.
heres my code any help is greatly appreciated...

 
#include <iostream>
 
void reverse(char input[]){
 
    int c=0;
    for (int x=0; input[x]!='\0' ; x++)
        c++;
    while (true){
        if (input[c-1] !='0'){    
            for(c; c >= 0; c--)
                cout << input[c-1];
 
            cout << endl;
            break;
            }
        else
            c--;
        }
}
 
int main(void)
{
   char input[256];
 
    cout << "Please enter a postive integer: ";
    cin.getline (input,256);
 
    reverse (input);
 
   return 0;
}
 

thanks

you can use strlen() to get the number of character in the string and you can test for leading 0's in the while(), e.g.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
 
void reverse(char input[]){
    int c=strlen(input)-1;
    while (input[c] =='0') if (--c < 0) { cout << "0\n"; return; }
    for(c; c >= 0; c--)
            cout << input[c];
    cout << endl;
}
 
int main(void)
{
   char input[256];
    cout << "Please enter a postive integer: ";
    cin.getline (input,256);
    reverse (input);
   cin.get();cin.get();
   return 0;
}
 

it will print a 0 for all 0000's input
