// FILE: vertical.cxx
// Examples of two recursive functions that write the digits of a number
// vertically.
#include <iostream>  // Provides cin, cout
#include <cstdlib>   // Provides EXIT_SUCCESS

// PROTOTYPES of the functions used in this demonstration:
void write_vertical(unsigned int number);
// Postcondition: The digits of number have been written, stacked vertically.

void super_write_vertical(int number);
// Postcondition: The digits of the number have been written, stacked vertically.
// If number is negative, then a negative sign appears on top.
