Task
Digital root
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

The digital root, , of a number, , is calculated:

find as the sum of the digits of
find a new by summing the digits of , repeating until has only one digit.

The additive persistence is the number of summations required to obtain the single digit.

The task is to calculate the additive persistence and the digital root of a number, e.g.:

has additive persistence and digital root of ;
has additive persistence and digital root of ;
has additive persistence and digital root of ;
has additive persistence and digital root of ;

The digital root may be calculated in bases other than 10.

See:

Ada

We first specify a Package "Generic_Root" with a generic procedure "Compute". The package is reduced for the implementation of multiplicative digital roots [[1]]. Further note the tunable parameter for the number base (default 10).

<lang Ada>package Generic_Root is

  type Number is range 0 .. 2**63-1;
  type Number_Array is array(Positive range <>) of Number;
  type Base_Type is range 2 .. 16; -- any reasonable base to write down numb
  
  generic
     with function "&"(X, Y: Number) return Number;
     -- instantiate with "+" for additive digital roots
     -- instantiate with "*" for multiplicative digital roots
  procedure Compute_Root(N: Number; 
                    Root, Persistence: out Number;
                    Base: Base_Type := 10);
  -- computes Root and Persistence of N;
  

end Generic_Root;</lang>

The implementation is straightforward: If the input N is a digit, then the root is N and the persistence is zero. Else, commute the digit-sum DS. The root of N is the root of DS, the persistence of N is 1 + (the persistence of DS).

<lang Ada>package body Generic_Root is

  procedure Compute_Root(N: Number; 
                    Root, Persistence: out Number;
                    Base: Base_Type := 10) is
     
     function Digit_Sum(N: Number) return Number is
     begin
        if N < Number(Base) then
           return N;
        else
           return (N mod Number(Base)) & Digit_Sum(N / Number(Base));
        end if;
     end Digit_Sum;

  begin
     if N < Number(Base) then
        Root := N;
        Persistence := 0;
     else
        Compute_Root(Digit_Sum(N), Root, Persistence, Base);
        Persistence := Persistence + 1;
     end if;
  end Compute_Root;
  

end Generic_Root;</lang>

Finally the main program. The procedure "Print_Roots" is for our convenience.

<lang Ada>with Generic_Root, Ada.Text_IO; use Generic_Root;

procedure Digital_Root is

  procedure Compute is new Compute_Root("+");
    -- "+" for additive digital roots
  
  package TIO renames Ada.Text_IO;
   procedure Print_Roots(Inputs: Number_Array; Base: Base_Type) is 
     package NIO is new TIO.Integer_IO(Number);
     Root, Pers: Number;
  begin
     for I in Inputs'Range loop
        Compute(Inputs(I), Root, Pers, Base);
        NIO.Put(Inputs(I), Base => Integer(Base), Width => 12);
        NIO.Put(Root, Base => Integer(Base), Width => 9);
        NIO.Put(Pers, Base => Integer(Base), Width => 12);
        TIO.Put_Line("   " & Base_Type'Image(Base));
     end loop;
  end Print_Roots;

begin

  TIO.Put_Line("      Number     Root Persistence  Base");
  Print_Roots((961038, 923594037444, 670033, 448944221089), Base => 10);
  Print_Roots((16#7e0#, 16#14e344#, 16#12343210#), Base => 16);

end Digital_Root;</lang>

Output:
      Number     Root Persistence  Base

This example is in need of improvement.

This calculates the result "the hard way", but is limited to the limits of a 32-bit signed integer (+/-2,147,483,647) and therefore can't calculate the digital root of 393,900,588,225. <lang qbasic>DECLARE SUB digitalRoot (what AS LONG)

Forth

This is trivial to do in Forth, because radix control is one of its most prominent feature. The 32-bits version just takes two lines: <lang forth>: (Sdigit) 0 swap begin base @ /mod >r + r> dup 0= until drop ;

digiroot 0 swap begin (Sdigit) >r 1+ r> dup base @ < until ;</lang>

This will take care of most numbers:

627615 digiroot . . 9 2  ok
39390 digiroot . . 6 2  ok
588225 digiroot . . 3 2  ok

For the last one we will need a "double number" version. MU/MOD is not available in some Forth implementations, but it is easy to define: <lang forth>[UNDEFINED] mu/mod [IF] : mu/mod >r 0 r@ um/mod r> swap >r um/mod r> ; [THEN]

(Sdigit) 0. 2swap begin base @ mu/mod 2>r s>d d+ 2r> 2dup d0= until 2drop ;
digiroot 0 -rot begin (Sdigit) 2>r 1+ 2r> 2dup base @ s>d d< until d>s ;</lang>

That one will take care of the last one:

393900588225. digiroot . . 9 2  ok

<lang J>digrot=: +/@(#.inv~&10)^:_ addper=: _1 + [: # +/@(#.inv~&10)^:a:</lang>

Example use:

<lang J> (, addper, digrot)&> 627615 39390 588225 393900588225

     627615 2 9

Here's an equality operator for comparing these digital roots:

<lang J>equals=: =&(9&|)"0</lang>

table of results:

<lang J> equals table i. 10 ┌──────┬───────────────────┐ │equals│0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9│ ├──────┼───────────────────┤ │0 │1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1│ │1 │0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0│ │2 │0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0│ │3 │0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0│ │4 │0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0│ │5 │0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0│ │6 │0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0│ │7 │0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0│ │8 │0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0│ │9 │1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1│ └──────┴───────────────────┘</lang>

If digital roots other than 10 are desired, the modifier ~&10 can be removed from the above definitions, and the base can be supplied as a left argument. Since this is a simplification, these definitions are shown here:

<lang J>digrt=: +/@(#.inv)^:_ addpr=: _1 + [: # +/@(#.inv)^:a:</lang>

Note that these routines merely calculate results, which are numbers. If you want the result to be displayed in some other base converting the result from numbers to character strings needs an additional step. Since that's currently not a part of the task, this is left as an exercise for the reader.

Java

Code:

<lang java>import java.math.BigInteger;

class DigitalRoot {

 public static int[] calcDigitalRoot(String number, int base)
 {
   BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(number, base);
   int additivePersistence = 0;
   if (bi.signum() < 0)
     bi = bi.negate();
   BigInteger biBase = BigInteger.valueOf(base);
   while (bi.compareTo(biBase) >= 0)
   {
     number = bi.toString(base);
     bi = BigInteger.ZERO;
     for (int i = 0; i < number.length(); i++)
       bi = bi.add(new BigInteger(number.substring(i, i + 1), base));
     additivePersistence++;
   }
   return new int[] { additivePersistence, bi.intValue() };
 }

 {
   for (String arg : args)
   {
     int[] results = calcDigitalRoot(arg, 10);
     System.out.println(arg + " has additive persistence " + results[0] + " and digital root of " + results[1]);
