BigInt help, please!

[sabian4k]

I know I don't have much done, but I am really stuck and my grade does ride on this. I have used this website to write my other problems please help. I know I have the inputof the intergers wrong. and the program is due tomorrow. please help!

I already wrote something like this for BigInteger addition (using C++ strings), maybe it might help you: http://www.daniweb.com/code/showsnippet.php?codeid=1154 :)
By the way, you haven't ask us a specific question, where are you having problems with in your code?

I guess my question is...how do i take in chars in the input function, then put them individually in an array, then convert them into intergers in another array.

[mvmalderen]

From char to integer (without checking whether character c is a real digit, you'll have to add that yourself if you want):

short chr2int(char c) {
     return c-'0';
}

From digit to character it's nearly the same, but you'll have to do +'0' instead of -'0' :)

Avoid using system("pause"); (reason), try cin.get() instead ...
