I do I find the sum of a digit?

Lets say the digit is 156 all you do is add the numbers of the digit together
EXAMLE:
555=15
5+5+5=15
To find the sum of the digits in a number, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with a given number.
2. Extract each individual digit from the number. Depending on the programming language or tool you are using, you can accomplish this by converting the number to a string and iterating through each character, or by using mathematical operations such as modulus (%) and integer division (/) to isolate each digit.
3. Add up all the extracted digits.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have processed all the digits in the number.
5. The final sum is the sum of the digits.
Here's an example in Python:
```python
def sum_of_digits(n):
sum = 0
while n > 0:
digit = n % 10
sum += digit
n = n // 10
return sum
num = 12345
result = sum_of_digits(num)
print("The sum of digits in", num, "is:", result)
```
In this example, we define a function called `sum_of_digits` which takes a number `n` as input. Inside the function, we initialize a variable `sum` to keep track of the running sum. We use a while loop to iterate until `n` becomes zero. In each iteration, we extract the rightmost digit of `n` using the modulus operator `%`, add it to the sum, and then remove the rightmost digit from `n` by integer dividing it by 10. Finally, we return the sum.
When you run this code with `num = 12345`, it will output `The sum of digits in 12345 is: 15`, which is the correct sum of all the digits in the number.
