Additive Persistence

Question

The shortest code to pass all possibilities wins.

In mathematics, the persistence of a number measures how many times a certain operation must be applied to its digits until some certain fixed condition is reached. You can determine the additive persistence of a positive integer by adding the digits of the integer and repeating. You would keep adding the digits of the sum until a single digit number is found. The number of repetitions it took to reach that single digit number is the additive persistence of that number.

Example using 84523:

84523
8 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 22
2 + 2 = 4

It took two repetitions to find the single digit number.
So the additive persistence of 84523 is 2.

You will be given a sequence of positive integers that you have to calculate the additive persistence of. Each line will contain a different integer to process. Input may be in any standard I/O methods.

For each integer, you must output the integer, followed by a single space, followed by its additive persistence. Each integer processed must be on its own line.

Should be saved to a script called a and placed in the system's PATH, as it calls itself recursively. Takes input from command line, like a 1999. Returns by exit code.

TIO has some limitations on what you can do with a script, so there's some boilerplate code to make this run in the header.

Prints an error to stderr for input larger than bash integers can handle, but since the actual computation is done with strings, it still gives the right result anyway.

• Saved two bytes thanks to ceilingcat; pulling the t=s assignment forward and using (t=s)[1] ~ *((t=s)+1) ~ *(1+(t=s)) ~ 1[t=s].

f(n)=n>9&&(f∘sum∘digits)(n)+1

Edit: With correct printing it's 92:

f(n)=n>9&&(f∘sum∘digits)(n)+1
while(n=parse(Int128,readline()))≢π
println("$n ",f(n)%Int)end

Python 3, 50 bytes

f=lambda n:0if n<10else-~f(eval('+'.join(str(n))))

Recursive function. Takes an integer, returns an integer.

Explanation:

# create a lambda function which takes one argument, and assign it to f
f=lambda n:\
    # if n is 0-9, it's persistence 0
    0if n<10\
        # otherwise, add one to the running total and recursively call f
        # ( ~ will invert the returned number, equivalent to -n-1)
        # (negating that gives you -(-n-1) = n+1)
        else-~f(
            # convert integet to string, join each character with a '+'
            # gives a string like '1+2+3+4+...+n'
            # evaluate the string as an expression, giving a new integer
            # pass that integer back into f
            eval('+'.join(str(n)))
        )

If I can instead of values on different lines, take a list of numbers (in the format [9999999999, 10, 8, etc.]), then -1 byte by replacing .Q with Q

F                  # For
 G.Q               #   G in the complete input (split by newlines)
    s[             #     join the list as string, create list from the following values:
      Gd           #       G, " " (for output formatting),
        tl         #       decrement length of
          .u    G  #          List of all intermediate results until there's a returning result, with starting value G
            s      #            reduce on + (add all list elements) the list:
             j     #              convert to integer as list:
              N    #                The current value (implicit input to .u)
               T   #                in base 10 (T=10)

Takes input as a list of integers. +3 bytes to input as a multiline string.

+3 bytes (or +6) for restrictive I/O formats, yay

How it works

żDS$Ƭ€Ẉ’ƊK€Y - Main link. Takes a list l on the left
        Ɗ    - To l:
   $         -   Group the previous 2 links into a monad f(n):
 D           -     Digits
  S          -     Sum
    Ƭ€       -   Over each n in l, repeatedly apply f(n) until a fixed point,
                  yielding [n, f(n), f(f(n)), ...]
      Ẉ      -   Get the length of each loop
       ’     -   Decrement each
ż            - Zip the loop lengths with l
         K€  - Join each by spaces
           Y - Join by newlines
