Thread: I'm new to C++ and need basic help please

Here is the way another person in my class was able to get the string idea to work:

Code:

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

int main( )
{
	string numStr;

	cout << "Enter a four digit positive integer. ";

	cin >> numStr;
	cout << endl; 

	cout << numStr[0] << endl; 
	cout << endl; 

	cout << numStr[1] << endl; 
	cout << endl; 

	cout << numStr[2] << endl; 
	cout << endl;

	cout << numStr[3] << endl; 
	cout << endl; 
	
	return 0;
}
