Question

How do I break down a user inputted integer to individual digits and store it into my array? I have an if statement that compares the spots of the array to check if it is a palindrome, but I need to make it so the user inputted number is broken up individually into the array. Please break it down into steps so I can understand.

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   char array[6];

  
       cout << "Enter a single number:";
       cin >> array;

       cout << array;

   cout << endl;

   if ((array[0] == array[5]) && (array[1] == array[4]) && (array[2] == array[3]))
       cout << "Palindrome";
   else
       cout << "Not Palindrome";
}

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char array[6] = {'0'};
   int n, i = 0;
  
    cout << "Enter a single number: ";
    cin >> n;

    while(n>0){
       array[i++] = '0'+(n%10);
       n = n / 10;
   }
   
   for(i = 0;i<6;i++){
       cout<<array[i]<<" ";
   }
   cout<<endl;

    if ((array[0] == array[5]) && (array[1] == array[4]) && (array[2] == array[3]))
       cout << "Palindrome";
       else
       cout << "Not Palindrome";
    return 0;
}
