Split an Integer into its digits c++

Question

I\'m trying to learn c++ on my own and I\'ve hit a bit of a road block. The problem is I need to take an integer,split it into its digits and get the sum of the digits and

Your problem comes from the fact that you are reading the digits backwards, thus you need to print them out backwards. A stack will help you tremendously.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

int countDigitsInInteger(int n)
{
    int count =0;
    while(n>0)
    {
        count++;
        n=n/10;
    }
    return count;
}

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{  
    int intLength =0;
    int number;
    int digit;      
    int sum = 0;
    string s;    
    cout << "Please enter an integer ";
    cin >>number;
    cout << "Orginal Number = "< digitstack;
    while(number>0)
    {                         
        digit = number % 10;
        number = number / 10;
        digitstack.push(digit);
        sum = sum+digit; 
    }

    while(digitstack.size() > 0)
    {
        cout << digitstack.top() << " ";
        digitstack.pop();
    }

    cout <

Oh, and BTW, keep your indentation clean. Its important.

EDIT: In response to Steve Townsend, this method is not necessarily overkill, it is just different from yours. The code can be slimmed down so that it seems less like overkill:

#include 
#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

int getInput(string prompt)
{
    int val;
    cout << prompt;
    cin >> val;
    return val < 0 ? -val : val;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    int num = getInput("Enter a number: ");
    cout << "Original Number: " << num << endl;

    stack digits;
    int sum = 0;
    while(num > 0)
    {
        digits.push(num % 10);
        sum += digits.top();
        num = num / 10;
    }

    while(digits.size() > 0)
    {
        cout << digits.top() << " ";
        digits.pop();
    }

    cout << endl << "Sum of digits is " << sum << endl;

    return 0;
}
