Running totals of variables in a loop.

[krzemienski]

Hey I am having trouble with loops the problem is as follows;
My program so far gets me to what I need which is the remainders which are the last digits of the 5 digit number inputted, I need a way for java to keep a running sum of all the remainders and then I need a new variable which is the sum of the remainders after going through the loop.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

mport java.util.Scanner;

public class Document1
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

// Obtain initial data from user
System.out.print("Enter 5 digit Integer: ");
int n = keyboard.nextInt();
getRemainder(n);
System.out.println();
}

public static void getRemainder(int n)
{


for (int i = 1; i < 6; i++)
{
int remainders = n % 10;
n = n / 10;

System.out.println(remainders);
System.out.println(n);
System.out.println(" ");



}
int a = n;


System.out.println(a);

Please use [ code ] tags [ / code ] when posting .
When you say sum, do you mean string wise, or additive wise (sum of digits?)

Declare a at the top of your function, and set a += n inside your loop.

Ok, thank you I figured it out,
int total = 0
needs to be befor the loop and I needed to use the total inside the loop to keep a running total adding n to it each time.
