Program for Sum of the digits of a given number

Given a number, find sum of its digits.

Examples :

Input : n = 687
Output : 21

Input : n = 12
Output : 3

Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE ” first, before moving on to the solution.

General Algorithm for sum of digits in a given number:

Get the number
Declare a variable to store the sum and set it to 0
Repeat the next two steps till the number is not 0
Get the rightmost digit of the number with help of remainder ‘%’ operator by dividing it with 10 and add it to sum.
Divide the number by 10 with help of ‘/’ operator
Print or return the sum

Below are the solutions to get sum of the digits.
1. Iterative:

C++

// C program to compute sum of digits in  
// number. 
# include<iostream> 
using namespace std; 
/* Function to get sum of digits */
class gfg 
{ 
    public: 
    int getSum(int n) 
    {  
    int sum = 0; 
    while (n != 0) 
    { 
     sum = sum + n % 10; 
     n = n/10; 
    }  
 return sum; 
 } 
}; 
//driver code 
int main() 
{ 
 gfg g; 
 int n = 687; 
 cout<< g.getSum(n); 
 return 0; 
}

{ 
  int n = 687; 
  printf(" %d ", getSum(n)); 
  return 0; 
}

    // Driver program 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        int n = 687; 
  
        System.out.println(getSum(n)); 
    } 
}

How to compute in single line?
Below function has three lines instead of one line but it calculates sum in line. It can be made one line function if we pass pointer to sum.

# include<iostream>

class gfg 
{ 
 public: 
 int getSum(int n)

    /* Single line that calculates sum */
    for (sum = 0; n > 0; sum += n % 10, n /= 10); 
  
    return sum; 
 }
