How to find the sum of digits of a number? (python)

Question

How can i make a program that take a number as an input from the user and then print the sum of the digits of that number?

Like if the user inputs 55 the output should be 10

I know that while loop will be required but i don't know that how can i make use of a while loop in it!!
(Please don't give the solution)

Answer 1

Talha Jubayer OP's not asking for sum of numbers between 1 and n (wich you could more efficienly compute as n*(n+1)/2), but the sum of digits from n...

∆BH∆Y you should iterate over digits of target number:

n = int(input())
s = 0
while n:
s += n%10
n = n//10
print(s)

if you need a result < 10, you must add a loop (while 9 < s), assign s to n, 0 to s and redo the digit sum loop ^^

Answer 2

∆BH∆Y simply observe logic,
Ex : n = 25, n%10=> 5 , make n = 2 by division and next repeat for
n =2, n%10=2, make n =0
adding reminders 5+2 = 7

Answer 3

∆BH∆Y You can also use list comprehension (similar to loop) with sum function though you have to get the input as string and not an integer.

print(sum([int(x) for x in input()]))

Answer 5

Eve’s answer is correct for the question. while loop is not the tool, the for loop is. Eve used an abbreviated for loop to turn the input into a list of the digits in it, then she used the sum function to add together all elements of the list.

Answer 6

Sum of the digits should be 9
