Answer 1

Not sure what you meant, In case you were asking about while loop..

The while statement continually executes a block of statements while a particular condition is true. Its syntax can be expressed as:

while (expression) {
     statement(s)
}

The while statement evaluates expression, which must return a boolean value. If the expression evaluates to true, the while statement executes the statement(s) in the while block. The while statement continues testing the expression and executing its block until the expression evaluates to false.

The while loop here is extracting digits one by one from the actual number and adding those. Try to do each step manually and you will get it.
