        }

You can use an std::list or std::vector of integers.

#include <iostream>
#include <list>

// ...

std::list<int> numbers;
int count=5;

for (int i=0; i < count; ++i) // reading...
{
    int n;

    std::cout << "Read number " << i + 1 << ": ";
    std::cin >> n;

    numbers.push_back(n);
}

// ...

numbers.sort(); // sorting...

// ...

// printing...
for (std::list<int>::const_iterator ci = numbers.begin(); ci != numbers.end(); ++ci)
    std::cout << *ci << ' ';

std::cout << std::endl;

and the is a errors on line 9

To clear up what the OP refers to: originally on line 9, I mistakenly left while() instead of for(). Hence the edit... which I thought would be quick enough.

It is time for you to make progress.
