adding digits in numbers

A Harshad number is one that is divisible by the sum of its digits. Write a Matlab program that prints out a list of all such three digit numbers and counts how many of these there are. How might you check that your program is working by using Excel?

The above is my question but i dont know how to create a code to add digits in numbers together for example, if i have the number 125 then i want to add up 1 + 2 + 5 but i have no idea of how to create the code for that part. i can do the rest i think

But why should we do the hard part of your homework assignment?

[Bhavik]

but i've really tried doing it, done alot of research and i was led onto this wesbite. im not asking you to do my work, just want some guidance, tip, hint etc

[Walter Roberson]

You asked how to add the digits. Did you try the response I gave? If so, then did you have a problem with it for the purpose of adding digits? If not, then you have developed some code already and are seeing an error in your code, so post that current code.

[Bhavik]

i did something similar to your response and it works perfectly now. Thank you :D

Answer 1

[Jan]

Hint:

log10(125)

rem(125, 10)
rem(125, 100)

Good luck

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

T = num2str(n); S = -144; for K = 1:3; S = S + T(K); end;

By the way, the entire homework problem has a one-line completely-vectorized solution (without even arrayfun), and can be completely parameterized down to a single variable that represents the number of digits. For example, the solution for 2 digits is

10 12 18 20 21 24 27 30 36 40 42 45 48 50 54 60 63 70 72 80 81 84 90

Answer 3

[Vieniava]

Analyze this solution:

N='435'; % number in a string format
S=sum(N-'0')-numel(N)*('0'-0);

Edit: Good point, Walter Roberson.

N='435';
S=sum(N)-numel(N)*'0'

[Walter Roberson]

The -0 are not needed:

S = sum(N) - numel(N)*'0';

Beware of using numel when you go to vectorize this code.

Try this method. (link) ( https://didiknowthis.blogspot.com/2020/10/how-to-add-all-digits-in-number-in.html ). This shows how to do this thing even for a large number. For large number simple methods do not work.
