Sum of digits in C#

Question

What\'s the fastest and easiest to read implementation of calculating the sum of digits?

I.e. Given the number: 17463 = 1 + 7 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 21

Answer 1

You could do it arithmetically, without using a string:

sum = 0;
while (n != 0) {
    sum += n % 10;
    n /= 10;
}
