I am trying to Sum numbers in a matrix down to one digit.
I am using this code
>> tic,s=0; while num>=1, s=s+rem(num, 10); num = floor(num / 10); end,toc,s
Elapsed time is 0.000010 seconds.
s =
78
I don't know how code properly another loop into this code to sum down the sum.
Can someone help me find a solution and explain it, if possible?
Thanks for helping

I guess my question is, "can someone help me find a solution?".

I still do not understand. Give a numeric example.

E.g. num = 123456789
The function example code I used results in s = 45
I would like to program the result of s down to one digit, s = 9

num = 123456789;
while num > 9
dec = 10 .^ (0:ceil(log10(num)) - 1);
digits = rem(floor(num ./ dec), 10);
num = sum(digits);
end
disp(num)
The conversion from the number to the digits is done inside sprintf also, but this performs an additional conversion to a char vector. I prefer to stay at the original data type, although it is nice to hide the actual calculations inside the built-in sprintf.
I hope that this is not your homework. Otherwise it gets harder to submit your own version to avoid "cheating".
Based on your own method all you need is an additional outer loop:
num = 123456789;
while num > 9
s = 0;
while num >= 1
s = s + rem(num, 10);
num = floor(num / 10);
end
num = s;
end
disp(num)

Here's another way, using the string trick:
num = 123456789
digits = num2str(num) - '0';
s = 0;
for k = 1 : length(digits)
s = s + digits(k);
end
s % Print to command window

Your answer is great for a trick and looks elegant, unfortunately it gives 45 as result.
Num can be a very big number and I want to reduce it down to only one digit.

There are numerous approaches. One of them is
while num > 9
break num up into last digits, and num without the last digit
replace num with the sum of that last digit and the number without the last digit
end
Using mod() to get the last digit is fine.

num=123456789;s=0;
while num>0
s=s+mod(s,10);
num=floor(num/10);
end
while numel(num2str(s))~=1
s=floor(s/10^(numel(num2str(s))-1))+mod(s,10^(numel(num2str(s))-1));
end

Your solution doesn't show me the answer. I tried to display each variable..

Using numel(num2str(s)) is a very indirect way of s < 10 . numel(num2str(s)) could be expressed directly by floor(log10(s)) + 1. Even sprintf would have less overhead as num2str.

Wow that's a beast... Are you converting to string to get a length property?
Thank you so much !
Edit* I need to think a bit which solution I like to accept. All are right ;-)

No, I converted to a string to eliminate the complicated stuff about using log(), floor(), rem(), mod(), powers of 10, etc. Basically the string trick converts a single multi-digit number into an array where each element of the array is one single number. Then all you do is simply add up the array! Can't get much simpler than that.

I extended your code 'Image Analyst' to show how this functions should return only one digit no matter how big num is.
clc
num = 123456789123456789;
digits = num2str(num) - '0';
s = 0;
t = 0;
u = 0;
for k=1:length(digits)
s = s + digits(k);
end
digits2 = num2str(s) - '0';
for k=1:length(digits2)
t = t + digits2(k);
end
digits3 = num2str(t) - '0';
for k=1:length(digits3)
u = u + digits3(k);
end
s
t
u
result
s =
128
t =
11
u =
2

MATLAB cannot store 123456789123456789 as a double precision number. The value stored would be 123456789123456784 instead.
MATLAB can store 123456789123456789 as uint64:
num = uint64(123456789123456789)

Thank you for this suggestion. I used 123456789123456789 only as example to show, how the first iteration sums it down to 128.
The function i'm trying to program needs to sum all numbers in a 3x3 matrix down to "*one digit*" that means.
The result must be a digit from 1 - 9 .

Tell us the 3 by 3 matrix. All I see is one long number. What are the other 8 numbers? Where do they come from?
Walter Roberson

Yah, so, use the algorithm I told you instead.

the matrix holds each of the 1 - 9 numbers like a magic square.
% (+) (-) (+/-)
% 1 2 3
% 4 5 6
% 7 8 9
the positive group holds 1 4 7
the negative group holds 2 5 8
the neutral group holds 3 6 9
..in essence, i didn't come to this part yet

OK, I'm lost. Then if your numbers are actually in a 3x3 matrix instead of as one long number, why don't you simply do
s = sum(your3x3Matrix(:));

function r = sum_to_one_digit(V)
if isempty(V)
r = 0;
elseif length(V) > 1
r = sum_to_one_digit(sum(V));
else
... code that only has to worry about working with a single number
end

I think I found a solution here. Just have to test in. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/finding-sum-of-digits-of-a-number-until-sum-becomes-single-digit/

It's just a more complicated version of what I gave you, and it's the same as what the others told you. But it doesn't have anything to do with a 3x3 matrix.

F K 2018-2-2
Yes indeed. You all were very helpful with my learning curve. Thank you very much.
I have to write more details about the project I am working on and will share more info if requested. This is unfortunately just a fraction of the things which have to be implemented.

Perhaps you should just take the number mod 9 (except using 9 instead of 0 for exact multiples): the results will be the same.
