C Programming Mathematics: Exercise-12 with Solution
Write a C program to add repeatedly all digits of a given non-negative number until the result has only one digit.
Example:
Input: 48
Output: 2
Explanation: The formula is like: 4 + 8 = 12, 1 + 2 = 3.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
static int addDigits(int num) {
return num - (num - 1) / 9 * 9;
}
int main(void)
{
int n = 12;
printf("\nInitial number is %d, Single digit number is %d.", n, addDigits(n));
n = 47;
printf("\n\nInitial number is %d, Single digit number is %d.", n, addDigits(n));
return 0;
}
Sample Output:
Initial number is 12, Single digit number is 3. Initial number is 47, Single digit number is 2.
