Recursive function in python to find the sum of digits of number

Question

I want to use a recursive algorithm for the function, which should print out the sum of all the digits of a given number.

Here is my code. For example, sum_of_digits(343) will return an output of 10.

numbers = [1, 2]
def sum_of_digits(n):
    for n in

sum_of_digits(343)    

The output I'm trying to achieve: 10

Answer 1

If you have to use recursion, one method would be to get the individual digits by modding n with 10 and adding that to the sum of the remaining digits (computed by sum_of_digits(n // 10) :

def sum_of_digits(n):
    if n < 10:
        return n
    return (n % 10) + sum_of_digits(n // 10)

print(sum_of_digits(343))

Output:

10

Answer 2

def sum_of_digits(n):
    result = 0
    for x in str(n):
        result += int(x)
    return result

sum_of_digits(343) # 10

Answer 3

How about this simplest solution:

number = 343

sum_of_digits = sum(map(int, str(number)))
print(sum_of_digits)
10
