Is there a way to add numeric values together in a string without looping?

I have a string say: '212'. This string is dynamically generated.

Is there a way to add these numbers together without looping?

If needed, I will loop and add the values; but after researching the Adobe Docs I wanted to see if there was a better way.

Thank you

  • Sure.. just for fun.

    digits = 212;
sum = arraySum(listToArray(digits, ""));
writeOutput(sum);
