Find Sum of Digits In A Given Number: C

Video Tutorial: Find Sum of Digits In A Given Number: C

Video Tutorial to illustrate, C Program to find sum of digits in the given/user entered integer number.

In this program we assign variable sum = 0 to avoid garbage values in sum before the calculation, which would result in wrong output.
We store the user entered value in num.

1 2 3 4 5 6

while( num ) { rem = num % 10; sum = sum + rem; num = num / 10; }

Here the loop executes until the value of num is zero.

If user enters 123, we apply the modulus to get the individual values.
Ex:
123 % 10 = 3
12 % 10 = 2
1 % 10 = 1

We get 123, 12 and 1 by dividing the original value by 10.
Ex:
123 user entered value.
123 / 10 = 12
12 / 10 = 1

Now the sum.

sum = sum + rem;

3 = 0 + 3
5 = 3 + 2
6 = 5 + 1

So the sum of digits in the given integer number is 6.
