C++ Array to a number

I have no idea how to write a code which would take numbers from the array and equal them to an integer number without 0.

For example, I have an array A[size]= {12,68,45,20,10} and I need to get the answer as n= 12684521. Any ideas or hints how to make it?

It is possible to do it without using strings or stringstreams. Here's the code:

int integer(int* arr, size_t length)
{
    int result = 0;
    for (size_t i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        int t1 = arr[i], t2 = 0;
        while (t1 != 0)
        {
            if(t1 % 10 != 0)
            {
                t2 *= 10;
                t2 += t1 % 10;
            }
            t1 /= 10;
        }
        while (t2 != 0)
        {
            if(t2 % 10 != 0)
            {
                result *= 10;
                result += t2 % 10;
            }
            t2 /= 10;
        }
    }
    return result;
}

The quirky thing is to make two inner while loops because operations in one of those loops mirror the numbers (e.g. if arr[i] is 68 then t2 becomes 86 and then 6 and 8 are appended to result).

As others mentioned you want to use a streaming object or if you are using C++20 you want to use remove_if.

You may want to check this out. You will need to know how to use streams to be a developer. What exactly does stringstream do?

Using @MikeCAT way

size_t concatArrrayNoZero(int[] a, size_t len){
  std::stringstream ss;
  for( auto i : a){
    //add everything to buffer    
    ss<<i;
  }
  //convert the ss into a string
  std::string str = ss.str();
  //remove the '0' from the string then erase the extra space in the string
  str.erase(std::remove(str.begin(), str.end(), '0'),
               str.end());
  //clear the buffer
  ss.clear();
  //put the nonzeros back into the buffer
  ss<<str;
  //make the return type
  size_t r;
  // get the data out of the buffer
  r<<ss;
  return r;
}

size_t is the max size unsigned integral type of your computer.

Also check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erase%E2%80%93remove_idiom for why you have erase and remove

Here is how i would do it :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <algorithm>
#define size 5

int main() {
  std::string ret;
  
  //your array
  int a[size]={12,68,45,20,10};
  //transform to string
  std::ostringstream out; 
  for(int i=0;i<size;i++)out << a[i];
  ret = out.str();
  //transform
  ret.erase(remove(ret.begin(), ret.end(), '0'), ret.end());
  //return string
  std::cout << ret;
  //return number
  int ret2 = std::stoi (ret);
  std::cout << ret2;
}

Console : "12684521"
