How to write a recursive method to return the sum of digits in an int?

Question

So this is my code so far.

    public int getsum (int n){
        int num = 23456;
        int total = 0;
        while (num != 0) {
            total += num         


        

Answer 1

This works for positive numbers.

public int sumDigits(int n) {
  int sum = 0;
  if(n == 0){
  return 0;
  }
  sum += n % 10; //add the sum
  n /= 10; //keep cutting
  return sum + sumDigits(n); //append sum to recursive call
}
