when i becomes 3 with x of 1 you exit the loop failing to process the 1. Replace: for(i=0;i<x;i++) with: while(x>0) and it will do what you're looking for.

You can, but must know a valid exit condition. This works: for(;x!=0;)

Another way: for(;x>0;x=x/10) { y=x%10; sum=sum+y; }

Why can't we use for loop while making this program

Yes i have tried this and that worked perfectly but I am not able to understand that why for(i=0;i<n;i++) is not working. Can you please explain me in brief

So when i=3;x=1 condition is reached the loop will exit out and that no is not being added . Am i right ? .. and if the no is 2345 at i=3;x=2 the loop exits and 2 is not added

john wells sir when we not initialize and increment the value in for loop as u have shown (;x!=0;) earlier it means that the loop became infinite am i right na ?
