To solve this problem, we can use the modulo operator (%) and integer division (//) to separate the digits of the two-digit integer.
Here’s some example code that demonstrates how to do this in Python:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
def sum_of_digits(n): # separate the tens digit and the ones digit tens = n // 10 ones = n % 10 # add the digits and return the result return tens + ones # test the function print(sum_of_digits(12)) # prints 3 print(sum_of_digits(23)) # prints 5 print(sum_of_digits(34)) # prints 7 |
This code first uses integer division (//) to separate the tens digit and the ones digit of the input number n. It then adds these digits together and returns the result.
Here’s an alternative way to solve this problem using string manipulation:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
def sum_of_digits(n): # convert the integer to a string n = str(n) # add the digits and return the result return int(n[0]) + int(n[1]) # test the function print(sum_of_digits(12)) # prints 3 print(sum_of_digits(23)) # prints 5 print(sum_of_digits(34)) # prints 7 |
This code first converts the integer n to a string, and then adds the two digits by converting them back to integers and using the + operator.
Both of these approaches should work to solve the problem. Which one you choose will depend on your personal preference and the constraints of your specific situation.
