    Assigning digits to cells in an integer array

    So say that I have the number 1234567 taken from the user with scanf. How can I store EACH DIGIT of this number into its own cell in an array? My code is as below, and I wanna modify it so that you can enter your SIN number on one line, not number by number.

    Code:
    /*
    Fred Liu's SIN number validation program.
    ICS3M Mr. Creelman period 2
    Tuesday October 10, 2006 9:38 PM
    */
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    int main() {
        int sin[9], i;
        
        printf("Welcome to Fred's program.\n\nPlease enter your SIN number one by one: ");
        for (i = 0; i < 9; i++) // This and the next line stores The SIN # into integer array sin[9]
            scanf("%d", &sin[i]);
        for (i = 1; i < 8; i+=2) {
            sin[i]*=2; // The 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th digits times 2
            if (sin[i] > 9) // Minus 9 if greater than 9
               sin[i]-=9;
        }
        if ((sin[1] + sin[3] + sin[5] + sin[7] + sin[0] + sin[2] + sin[4] + sin[6] + sin[8]) % 10 == 0) // This is steps b-e
           printf("This SIN number is valid.");
        else
            printf("This is a fake SIN number. The government SWAT team has now been dispatched.");
    
        printf("\n\n");
        system("pause");
        return(0);
    }

    Read user input as a string using fgets(). Parse the input to make sure that it is numeric, how many digits are in it etc. If it passes parsing, you can extract each character and turn it into a number to store in your array.
