Python Challenges: Find the sum of the digits of a given number

Python Challenges - 1: Exercise-45 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the sum of the digits of a given number.

In mathematics, the factorial of a positive integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. For example,
5!= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120
and the sum of the digits in the number 5! is 1 + 2 +0 = 3

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import math

def compute(n):
	n = math.factorial(n)
	ans = sum(int(c) for c in str(n))
	return str(ans)

print(compute(5))
print(compute(6))

Sample Output:

3
9
