Summing the Digits of a Number

Question

Challenge

Given a non-negative integer, find the sum of its digits.

Rules

Your program must take a non-negative integer as input.
Your program should output the sum of the digits of the input integer.
Your program should be able to handle inputs up to 10^100.

Examples

If the input is 123, the output should be 6 (1 + 2 + 3).
If the input is 888, the output should be 24 (8 + 8 + 8).
If the input is 1024, the output should be 7 (1 + 0 + 2 + 4).
If the input is 3141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592, the output should be 315.

Format

Your program should take input from standard input (stdin) and output the result to standard output (stdout).
Your program should be runnable in a Unix-like environment.

Trilangle, 15 bytes

'0.<"@(+>i(^-<!

Test it on the online interpreter!

Roughly equivalent to this C code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int total = 0;
    int i;
    while ((i = getchar()) != EOF) {
        total += i - '0';
    }
    printf("%d\n", total);
}

Control flow is kinda weird so it actually calls getchar() a couple times even after EOF is reached.

Unfolds to this:

    '
   0 .
  < " @
 ( + > i
( ^ - < !

With code paths highlighted:

Control flow starts at the north corner heading southwest (on the red path). Instructions are executed as follows:

'0: Push a 0 to the stack
<: Change the direction of control flow

(Walk off the edge of the grid and wrap around)
i: Get a single character from stdin (-1 on EOF) and push it to the stack
>: Branch on the sign of the top of the stack

If the value is positive (any character that isn't EOF), the IP takes the green path:

"0: Push the value of the character '0' (i.e. 48) to the stack
-: Subtract the two values on top of the stack
+: Add the two values on top of the stack
<: Redirect control flow, merging with the red path

Once EOF is read, the IP takes the blue path, printing out the stored value... eventually. As you can see from the image it takes the scenic route.

-: Subtract the two values on top of the stack. There's now only one value, total - -1 (i.e. total + 1).
i: Attempt to read another character from stdin (always sees EOF)
<: Redirect control flow
- Subtract the two values on top of the stack. Again, there's now only one value: total + 2.
^: Redirect control flow
((: Decrement the top of the stack twice, undoing the effects of i-i-.
!: Print the value on top of the stack as a decimal integer
i: Another attempt to read stdin, though at this point the values on the stack don't matter
@: End program.

And if anyone wants to make a tool like HexagonyColorer so I can make the diagrams look nice instead of hand-drawing them in paint, that'd be appreciated. If not I'll just keep doing them in paint, I don't honestly care enough to make a tool of my own. — Bbrk24, Feb 24 at 23:48

NOTE: Since many/most of the answers seem to ignore the requirement in the question that the input must be taken from stdin and the output must be sent to stdout, I suppose it is reasonable if I do so, too. I think that's a silly and arbitrary requirement, because it makes many languages non-competitive. The standard on Code Golf is to allow functions, and to allow functions taking input via arguments and outputting via their return value(s), so this is what I will follow.

x86-64 Assembly, standard Linux calling convention, 17 bytes

64 31 C0 0F B6 0F E3 09 48 FF C7 8D 44 01 D0 EB F2 C3

Try it online!

This is a minor, iterative improvement on qwr's answer, which is 18 bytes.

It saves 1 byte by using the relatively-obscure JECXZ instruction (actually JRCXZ, since this is 64-bit mode), which jumps if the value of the rcx register is zero.

It also improves on qwr's original (arguably fixes a bug?) in that it supports the case where the input is an empty string, returning a sum of zero. (To be fair, the challenge doesn't specify whether it is required to handle this, so maybe it cannot be termed a "bug", and, in fact, my next attempt will have this same "bug", so I can hardly ding qwr for taking advantage of it, too!)

SumDigits:
  31 C0         xor    eax, eax
Loop:
  0F B6 0F      movzx  ecx, BYTE PTR [rdi]
  E3 09         jrcxz  End
  48 FF C7      inc    rdi
  8D 44 01 D0   lea    eax, [rcx + rax - '0']
  EB F2         jmp    Loop
End:
  C3            ret    ; result is in eax

x86-64 Assembly, fully custom calling convention, 14 bytes

64 31 C0 31 D2 AC 8D 54 02 D0 38 26 75 F7 C3

Try it online!

This is a variation on the same theme (it still takes the input as a pointer to the beginning of a NUL-terminated ASCII string), but it pulls out all the stops to really optimize for size:

It uses the ultra-compact x86 string instructions. In this case, lods, which loads a byte into al from the address in rsi, and also increments rsi to point to the next byte, using a single-byte encoding.
- In order to know whether to increment or decrement the source pointer, the rsi instruction implicitly depends on the direction flag (DF). Normally, you'd need to explicitly clear that flag with the cld instruction, but, in this case, since we're running on a *nix-like operating system, per the challenge, we can assume it is already clear. (Also, when you're defining a custom calling convention, the state of the flags can be part of that; see below.)
It uses a custom calling convention so that we can (A) take the input string in the rsi register, which is what the lods instruction expects, saving us from having to copy it from one register to another, and (B) build the result in a custom register (edx), freeing up eax to use as a scratch register (because this is what the lods instruction uses as an implicit destination operand).
The lods instruction is only loading a single byte, so it only modified the low-order byte of the eax register (al). But the lea instruction that we use to perform multiple arithmetic operations in a single instruction only works on the full 64-bit register, so we need to make sure that the high values are clear. We could do this with an explicit movzx after the lods instruction, but that would consume a lot of bytes. So, instead, we do it once, outside of the loop, with a single xor instruction. This clears the entire rax register, which works because we only ever touch the low-order byte (al).
- Another neat trick falls out of this: because we don't touch the high-order byte (ah), it's guaranteed to be zero through all iterations of our loop, so we can compare (cmp) the source pointer (string) to ah instead of comparing it to a literal 0, which saves us one byte in the encoding.

SumDigits:
  --          ; cld                           ; can assume DF is always clear on Linux)
  31 C0         xor    eax, eax               ; eax  = 0 (al = 0, ah = 0)
  31 D2         xor    edx, edx               ; edx  = 0 (holds result)
Loop:
  AC            lods                          ; al   = BYTE PTR [rsi]
  8D 54 02 D0   lea    edx, [rdx + rax - '0'] ; edx += (eax - '0')
  38 26         cmp    BYTE PTR [rsi], ah     ; is BYTE PTR [rsi] == ah (which is 0)?
  75 F7         jne    Loop                   ; loop back if not equal (non-zero)
  C3            ret                           ; result is in edx

The custom calling convention is a pretty major "cheat" here, but it's not unusual in the "real world" to use a custom calling convention when writing code in assembly. If you're going to call it from C, you need to take steps to match the standard C calling convention, but who says we're calling it from C?! We don't need no stinkin' C! :-)

Yes, you're right about the stdin/stout requirement, as the challenge author explicitly allowed in the question comments "function declaration" (which I and most interpreted as standard I/O rules) — qwr, Feb 26 at 18:34
I don't think empty string needs to be handled based on the challenge requirement: "given a non-negative integer", which an empty string isn't. Also a fully custom calling convention isn't cheating at all, per the x86 golfing tips page. — qwr, Feb 26 at 18:54

digits(10)+sum

Try it online!

digits(x, y) converts y into digits in base x and sum performs sum. Therefore, digits(10) is a partial function that becomes y => digits(10, y) and + sum chains it with sum so an input will be called with digits(10)(...) first, and then the result is called with sum(...).

This is 6 bytes shorter than the straightforward x=>sum(digits(10,x)).

Also, fun fact, this is almost exactly the machine code that GCC will generate for the "obvious" C code when optimizing for size (-Os): Godbolt demo (it swaps the order of the cmp and lea; the advantage of that is unclear, but at least it's not harmful, since the cmp with a memory operand isn't going to be able to macro-fuse with the jne anyway). \$\endgroup\$

\$\begingroup\$ @CodyGray you're right about counting the xor. I think I got confused with a program starting at _start being initialized with zeros in most registers codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/132981/… \$\endgroup\$

Raku, 19 16 bytes

say [+] get.comb

Try it online!

get(): gets a single line from stdin (parens not required)

~~`.univals()`: maps a string of numerical unicode chars to a list of their values. I'm just using it in place of `.split("")`, which would be 2 bytes longer.~~

.comb: splits out to list of characters (thanks @Mark Reed)

[+]: reduces the list by addition.

say: writes to stdout

Pascal, 114 bytes

This is a full program according to ISO standard 7185 “Standard Pascal”. The built-in data type integer comprises (at least) all integral values in the range −maxInt..maxInt. The value of maxInt is implementation-defined. In order to successfully test values up to and including one googol you will need a processor (this refers to the specific combination of machine, compiler, OS, etc.) defining maxInt ≥ 10¹⁰⁰.

program p(input,output);var x,y:integer;begin y:=0;read(x);repeat y:=y+x mod 10;x:=x div 10 until x=0;write(y)end.

Ungolfed:

program digitSum(input, output);
    var
        x, digitSum: integer;
    begin
        digitSum := 0;
        read(x);
        
        repeat
        begin
            digitSum := digitSum + x mod 10;
            x := x div 10;
        end
        until x = 0;
        
        write(digitSum);
    end.

Because in Pascal mod is defined to always yield a non-negative result, digitSum works incorrectly for negative inputs. Injecting an x := abs(x); prior the loop will resolve this issue.

Another method is of course to process characters. In Pascal it is guaranteed that the characters '0' through '9' are in ascending order and consecutive, thus ord('9') − ord('0') is guaranteed to yield the integer value 9.

program p(input,output);var x:integer;begin x:=0;while not EOF do begin x:=x+ord(input^)-ord('0');get(input)end;write(x)end.

Input must not be followed by a newline, or replace the EOF by EOLn. This program is ≥ 124 bytes

Try it online!

Using the default scale=0 i.e. no decimals, divide by 1,10,100,... successively (a/10^i), and %10 to add only the last digit to b. When the for loop finishes, print the sum. ;b

\$\begingroup\$ It does say Your program should take input from standard input (stdin) and output the result to standard output (stdout). but even if your solution is taken as a function, it'd not work, as it'd be a 3-train, and equivalent to {(+/⍵)⍎¨(⍕⍵)} and even if taken as a snippet (which isn't allowed per site rules), it'd fail on large numbers due to precision. \$\endgroup\$

Javascript, 42 bytes

This new and improved version supports BigInt, as well as numbers and strings. It uses tsh's idea, but it first changes the type and uses the ES10 BigInt. (It also happens to be the shortest I could come up with!)

a=n=>eval("x=BigInt(n);x&&x%10n+a(x/10n)")

I also tried playing around and created these functions:

// BigInt/String/Number
b=n=>eval("l=0;(n+[]).split('').forEach(t=>l+=+t);l")
// String only
c=n=>eval("l=0;n.split('').forEach(t=>l+=+t);l")
// BigInt only
d=n=>n&&n%10n+d(n/10n)
// String/Number
e=n=>+n&&+n%10+e(+n/10|0)

Rust, 54 47 30 bytes

|n|n.map(|b|b as u64-48).sum()

A function that takes a std::str::Bytes and returns a u64. For the purpose of this challenge, I consider std::str::Bytes to be an iterator of ASCII-characters, which meets our general criteria for a string.

Previous versions:

|mut n|{let mut s=0;while n>0{s+=n%10;n/=10;}s}

|n|n.to_string().bytes().map(|d|u64::from(d)-48).sum()

Leaf-Lang, 95 bytes

macro p pop pop end""input splitString 0:s""=0=while p p toNumber s+:s""=0=stop p p 1p s print

Explaination

Leaf Lang is a lang I made in my free time in college. It is a stack-based programming language. It can be hard to understand, so I wrote a step-by-step golf of my solution.

The readable solution

"" input splitString # split input into array of strings
0 : sum              # sum = 0
"" = 0 =             # loop condition
while
        pop pop pop pop      # clean stack of condition
        toNumber sum + : sum # sum = sum + toNumber
        "" = 0 =             # loop condition
stop

pop pop pop pop # clean stack of condition
pop             # clean stack of stop condition

sum # add sum to stack
print

Compressed readable solution, 109 bytes

""input splitString 0:sum""=0=while pop pop pop pop toNumber sum+:sum""=0=stop pop pop pop pop pop sum print

Macro optimization #1, 98 bytes

macro p pop end""input splitString 0:s""=0=while p p p p toNumber s+:s""=0=stop p p p p p s print

This uses a macro to shorten the long chains of pop calls.

Macro optimization #2, 96 bytes

macro p pop pop end""input splitString 0:s""=0=while p p toNumber s+:s""=0=stop p p pop s print

The final golf code, 95 bytes

macro p pop pop end""input splitString 0:s""=0=while p p toNumber s+:s""=0=stop p p 1p s print

The final code abuses my parser to push a 1 to the stack then call the p macro to essentially make a single pop call.
