C program to find sum of digits of a number using recursion.

 C  program to find sum of digits of a number using recursion.

#include <stdio.h>
int sumOfDigits(int num);
int main() {
    int num, sum;
    printf("Enter a number: ");
    scanf("%d", &num);
    sum = sumOfDigits(num);
    printf("The sum of digits of %d is %d.\n", num, sum);
    return 0;
}

int sumOfDigits(int num) {
    if (num == 0) {
        return 0;
    } else {
        return (num % 10) + sumOfDigits(num / 10);
    }
}

Explanation : 

The program starts by including the standard input-output library stdio.h.

The program defines a function sumOfDigits that takes an integer argument num and returns the sum of its digits. The function is defined using recursion.

Inside the sumOfDigits function, there is an if statement that checks if the number num is equal to 0. If it is, the function returns 0 as the sum of digits.

If num is not equal to 0, the function calculates the sum of the last digit of num (obtained using the modulus operator %) and the sum of digits of the remaining digits (obtained using integer division /), and returns this sum.

The program defines the main function that takes no arguments and returns an integer. Inside the main function, the program declares three integer variables num, sum, and i.

The program prompts the user to enter a number using printf and reads the input using scanf.

The program calls the sumOfDigits function with the input number num and stores the result in the variable sum.

Finally, the program prints the result using printf.

The return 0 statement at the end of the main function terminates the program and returns 0 to the operating system.

Sample output :
Enter a number: 1234
The sum of digits of 1234 is 10.

Here, we have entered the number 1234 as input, and the program has calculated the sum of its digits (which is 1+2+3+4=10) using recursion and printed the result.

ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

Understanding Electromagnetic Waves: The Invisible Messengers of Energy Electromagnetic (EM) waves are everywhere around us, shaping the way we live and communicate, though most of the time we are unaware of their presence. From the light we see to the signals carrying our favorite songs on the radio, EM waves play a fundamental role in both nature and modern technology. In this post, we’ll explore the nature of electromagnetic waves, their types, and their significance in daily life. What Are Electromagnetic Waves? At their core, electromagnetic waves are fluctuations of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space. Unlike sound waves, which need a medium like air or water to propagate, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. This means they can traverse the vast emptiness of space, which is how sunlight reaches Earth from the Sun. The discovery of electromagnetic waves is credited to James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century. He formulated a set of equations—now kn...

Introduction to C Programs

INTRODUCTION The programming language ‘C’ was developed by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s at Bell Laboratories. Although C was first developed for writing system software, today it has become such a famous language that a various of software programs are written using this language. The main advantage of using C for programming is that it can be easily used on different types of computers. Many other programming languages such as C++ and Java are also based on C which means that you will be able to learn them easily in the future. Today, C is mostly used with the UNIX operating system. Structure of a C program A C program contains one or more functions, where a function is defined as a group of statements that perform a well-defined task.The program defines the structure of a C program. The statements in a function are written in a logical series to perform a particular task. The most important function is the main() function and is a part of every C program. Rather, the execution o...
