JavaScript Math: Exercise-99 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to add repeatedly all the digits of a given non-negative number until the result has only one digit.
For example:
Input: 39
Output: 3
Explanation: The formula is like: 3 + 9 = 12, 1 + 2 = 3.
Visualisation:

Test Data:
(47) -> 2
(9) -> 9
Sample Solution-1:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>JavaScript program to Add digits until there is only one digit</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
function test(n) {
if (isNaN(n) || n === 0) return 0;
total = n;
while (n >= 10) {
total = 0;
while (n != 0) {
total += Math.floor(n % 10);
n = Math.floor(n / 10);
}
n = total;
}
return total;
};
n = 49
console.log("n = " +n)
console.log("Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: "+test(n));
n = 9
console.log("Original text: " +n)
console.log("Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: "+test(n));
Sample Output:
n = 49 Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: 4 Original text: 9 Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: 9

Sample Solution-2:
JavaScript Code:
function test(n) {
if (isNaN(n) || n === 0) return 0;
if (n < 10) return n;
return n % 9 === 0 ? 9 : n % 9;
};
n = 49
console.log("n = " +n)
console.log("Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: "+test(n));
n = 9
console.log("Original text: " +n)
console.log("Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: "+test(n));
Sample Output:
n = 49 Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: 4 Original text: 9 Add digits of the said number until there is only one digit: 9
