Radix sorting methods
#include <stdio.h>
// Function to get the maximum value in the array

// Main Radix Sort function

// Apply counting sort for every digit
for (int exp = 1; max / exp > 0; exp *= 10)

// Function to print the array

OUTPUT
Enter number of elements: 9
Enter 9 integers:
7 4 1 8 5 2 9 6 3
Sorted array: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
