Given a non-negative integer num
, repeatedly add all its digits until the result has only one digit.
For example:
Given num = 38
, the process is like: 3 + 8 = 11
, 1 + 1 = 2
. Since 2
has only one digit, return it.
Follow up:
Could you do it without any loop/recursion in O(1) runtime?
Hint:
- A naive implementation of the above process is trivial. Could you come up with other methods?
- What are all the possible results?
- How do they occur, periodically or randomly?

public int addDigits(int num)
{
int ret=0;
while(num>0)
{
ret+=num%10;
if(ret>=10)
{
ret%=10;
ret++;
}
num/=10;
}
return ret;
}
this method depends on the truth:
N=(a[0] * 1 + a[1] * 10 + ...a[n] * 10 ^n),and a[0]...a[n] are all between [0,9]
we set M = a[0] + a[1] + ..a[n]
and another truth is that:
1 % 9 = 1
10 % 9 = 1
100 % 9 = 1
so N % 9 = a[0] + a[1] + ..a[n]
means N % 9 = M
as 9 % 9 = 0,so we can make (n - 1) % 9 + 1 to help us solve the problem when n is 9.as N is 9, ( 9 - 1) % 9 + 1 = 9
public int addDigits(int num) {
return (num - 1) % 9 + 1;
}
