Q1. Find sum of digits using recursion
Ans. 
Recursively find the sum of digits in a given number
• Create a recursive function that takes in a number as input

• Base case: if the number is less than 10, return the number

• Recursive case: return the last digit of the number added to the result of calling the function with the number divided by 10

• Example: For input 123, the sum of digits would be 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
