Given an integer n
(in base 10
) and a base k
, return the sum of the digits of n
after converting n
from base 10
to base k
.
After converting, each digit should be interpreted as a base 10
number, and the sum should be returned in base 10
.
Example 1:
Input: n = 34, k = 6
Output: 9
Explanation: 34 (base 10) expressed in base 6 is 54. 5 + 4 = 9.
Example 2:
Input: n = 10, k = 10
Output: 1
Explanation: n is already in base 10. 1 + 0 = 1.
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 100
2 <= k <= 10
Solution: This is a very straightforward problem like decimal to binary conversion. If you don't know it, follow this explanation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsxT4FfRBaM&t=478s&ab_channel=TheOrganicChemistryTutor
