i need help with this problem for school.
write a program that will ask the user to enter a number, and then print out the individual defits of that number and the sum of those digits. use a methof for calculating the sum of the digits.
eg enter a number: 3146
the digits of 3145 are 6, 4, 1, 3
the sum of these digits are 14

i can do the sum, i just need help to separate the digits. i am not allowed to use an array, because we havnt lernt them yet, but i cant find any other way to do it

Well assuming you are taking the input from the user as a string, and are not allowed to use an array, perhaps you could take the input, use the string.length() to determine how many characters are in it, then for however many characters there are, create a new string object made up of the various String.substring()s. You could then loop through those variables, convert them to integers using the parseInt method and add them up.

Not very nice solution.
But it works..........

// ----------------------------------- CODE --------------------
/**
* @author timosh
*/
public class DigitCalc {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Start app");
int res = calcDigits (12345678);
System.out.println("Result = " + res );

res = calcDigits (3146);
System.out.println("Result = " + res );

}


private static int calcDigits (long val)
{
int sum =0;
String str = ""+val;
prn(" Inpit Value: " + val );

int lenght = str.length();
for (int i=0;i<lenght;i++)
{
String ch = "" +str.charAt(i);
prn ("digit [" +i + "] = " + ch);
int digit = Integer.parseInt(ch);
sum = sum +digit;
}
return sum;
}


private static void prn(Object obj)
{
if(true && (obj!= null))
{
System.out.println(obj.toString() );
}

}

}

yeah i did it with an array, thanks for the help guys

[christophermark]

please help
using string manipulation:
create a program that will accept a string value in the form First Name Middle Initial Surname and will display it in the form SurName, FirstName MI.
sample Output:
Enter full name [Firstname MI Surname]: Michael S. Jordan

You entered: Michael S. Jordan
Rearranged Name [Surname, Firstname MI]: Jordan, Michael S.

please reply asap.. tnx in advance!!!
