std::cin string to int array with variable length input - c++

Question

I have a task where i need to revert a list of variable length numbers. This could be "1 2 3" or "5 6 7 8 9 10".
The sorting itself works fine.
But I can't figure out how to read the user input (with variable length) and then only execute the reverseSort once.
How can I read the user input into an array where each index is based on the space between the numbers?
Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
bool sorted = true;
int temp;
int * arr;
int arrLength = 5;
int arrs;
// int arr = {1,2,3,4,5};
void reverseSort(int arr[], int n){
sorted = true;
for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++){
if (arr[(i + 1)] > arr[i]){
temp = arr[i];
arr[i] = arr[i+1];
arr[i+1] = temp;
sorted = false;
}
}
if (!sorted){
reverseSort(arr,n);
}
}
int main(void){
// get user input !?!?!?!?!
cin >> arrs;
cout << arrs;
reverseSort(arr,arrLength);
for (int i = 0; i < arrLength; i++){
std::cout << arr[i] << " ";
}
return 0;
}

If you don't know number of inputs you need struct that can be resized. std::vector is good for it. For adding new data you can use member function push_back.
You can read the input line as std::string (by std::getline) and you can open new stream with read data (std::istringstream). Further one can read values from new stream.
And I think you can use std::sort instead of reverseSort (but for 'reverse' you need use std::greater as comparator).
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
int main(void){
std::vector<int> arrs;
// read only one line
std::string input;
std::getline(std::cin, input);
std::istringstream row(input);
int x;
while (row >> x)
{
arrs.push_back(x);
}
//like your reverseSort
std::sort(arrs.begin(), arrs.end(), std::greater<int>{});
for (auto var : arrs) {
std::cout << var << "; ";
}
return 0;
}
