    Beginner's assignment: scan only 4 digit + number and separate its digit of ones.

    Because your number is uninitialised, the while loop was initially false and the program just ends with no output.

    You typed 9999 at a new prompt, not in your program.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Thanks for answering but I still can't make it work, could you please be more specific as for what should I do to fix it?

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Thanks it worked!! but now it keeps printing it endlessly, how do I restrict that to print the contents of the while loop only once? Edit: never mind I fixed it by switching the while loop to an if loop. Thank You all.
