In this post, I will discuss Sum Of Digit Of A Number Using Recursion through C++ Programming.

Given a number, we need to find sum of its digits using recursion.

Examples:

Input : 12345
Output : 15

Input : 45632
Output :20

Now, the step by step process for a better understanding of how this algorithm works,

Lets, Take the example 12345

Step-1:

12345 % 10 which is equal-too 5 + and then send 12345/10 to next step.

Step-2:

1234 % 10 which is equal-too 4 + and then send 1234/10 to next step.

Step-3:

123 % 10 which is equal-too 3 + and then send 123/10 to next step.

Step-4:

12 % 10 which is equal-too 2 + and then send 12/10 to next step.

Step-5:

 1 % 10 which is equal-too 1 and then send 1/10 to next step.

Step-6:

 0 algorithm stops.

Here, following diagram will illustrate the process of recursion:

Sum Of Digit Of Number Using Recursion
// Recursive C++ program to find sum of digits
// of a number
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to check sum of digit using recursion
int sum_of_digit(int n)
{
	if (n == 0)
	return 0;
	return (n % 10 + sum_of_digit(n / 10));
}

// Driven code
int main()
{
	int num = 12345;
	int result = sum_of_digit(num);
	cout << "Sum of digits in "<< num
	<<" is "<<result << endl;
	return 0;
}

// THis code is contributed by

Output:

Sum of digits in 12345 is 15
