What if it takes more than 1 while-loop? does it have to be done with 1 while-loop? What if there are multiple greatest digit? e.g. 2021 (digit 2 appear twice) And what if all the digits are the same? e.g. 999

I tried, but I couldn't get it to work as expected if I must strictly use only 1 while-loop ...

Here it uses 2 while loop. First one searches for largest digit, and second one builds the resulting number. https://code.sololearn.com/ckC9l6ULuP9N/?ref=app

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int N,uc,c,y=0,p=1; cin>>N; ; while(N!=0){ uc=N%10; if(max(uc,9)) c=uc*0; N=N/10; if(N%10!=0){ y=(N%10)*p+y; p=p*10; } } cout << y; return 0; }
