Homework 22: Recursion

Submit this homework using Gradescope. You can type up your answers, or write legibly and scan them. Do not attempt to submit a paper copy in class, as it will not be accepted.


(1 point) Write a iterative method int sumOfDigits(int x) that returns the sum of the digits of an integer.

If x is 1234, the function should return 1 + 2 + 3 + 4, that is, 10.

If x is 345, the function should return 3 + 4 + 5 = 12.

If x is 3, the function should return 3.

If x is negative, ignore the minus sign. For example, -12 and 12 both return 3.

(Hint: Use / 10 and % 10.)

(1 point) Now, implement int sumOfDigits(int x) using recursion – no explicit loop constructs (for, while) allowed!
