//finds the sum of digits of a number
#include<cstdio>

int addDigits(int no) {
	int negFlag=0;
	int sum=0;
	if(no<0) {
		negFlag=1;
		no=-no;
	}
	while(no>0) {
		sum+=no%10;
		no/=10;	
	}
	return sum;
}
int main() {
	printf("%d : %d ",567,addDigits(567));
	printf("%d : %d ",5,addDigits(5));
	printf("%d : %d ",0,addDigits(0));
	printf("%d : %d ",-567,addDigits(-567));

Hi, this is simple...

int n = 65; //answer is 2

int sum_till_one_digit = n % 9;

There is one trick in this solution -- If it returns 0, answer is actually 9. Need to handle n=0 case separately.
e.g. 999 & 9 == 0, but sum_to_1_digit is actually 9.

what abt n = 63?
It should be 9 and not 0

// a recursive solution
unsigned int SumDigits(unsigned int number)
{
	if (number >= 0 && number <= 9)
	{
		return number;
	}	
	return (number % 10) + SumDigits(number / 10);
}

unsigned int SumDigitsTillSingleDigit(unsigned int number)
{
	if (number >= 0 && number <= 9)
	{
		return number;
	}
	return SumDigitsTillSingleDigit(SumDigits(number));
}

Can anyone please confirm on this code?

public static long addNumber (long n)
{
long sum = 0;
long asum = 0;
while (n>0)
{
sum = sum + n%10;
n/=10;
}
if (sum > 9 )
sum = addNumber(sum);
return sum;
}

int sum = 0;
int sumDigits( int n)
{
while (n>0){
sum = sum + n%10;
n/=10;
}
return sum;
}

This will not return sum as a single digit.
Ex. if n = 364, the above program would return 13; but, it should actually return 4.

Extending the above code,

int sum = 0;
void sumDigits(int n)
{
while (n>0){
sum = sum + n%10;
n/=10;
}
if(sum/10 > 0)
sumDigits(sum);
else
printf("%d", sum);
}

a = 123;
while(a != 0){

num = a%10;
sum = sum + num;
a = a/10;
}
System.out.println("a : "+ sum);

output: 6
