Sum of digits in C#


What's the fastest and easiest to read implementation of calculating the sum of digits?

I.e. Given the number: 17463 = 1 + 7 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 21


Solution

  • You could do it arithmetically, without using a string:

    sum = 0;
    while (n != 0) {
        sum += n % 10;
        n /= 10;
    }
