Thread: Write a Java program and compute the sum of the digits of an integer.

I need help with a program where I have to find the sum of the digits of an integer.

For example, for the integer 32, the sum of the digits of the integer is: 3+2 = 5
Or, for the integer 321, the sum of the digits of the integer is: 3+2+1 = 6

One person gave me this code (but did not explain):

class Digits
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		int num = 25;
		int sum = 0; 
 
		while (num > 0) 
		{
			sum = (sum + num) % 10;
			num = num / 10; 
		}
		System.out.println("The sum of the digits of 25 is: " + sum);
	}
}

However, I'm having trouble understanding what's going on in the while statement. BTW, i've even tried it with the numbers above (32 and 321), but I still don't understand the input?
