Digit sum 0 to n

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresSenior–Staff~35 min

Return the sum of the decimal digits of every integer from 0 to n inclusive. For n=12 the answer is 0+1+2+...+9+1+(1+0)+(1+1)+(1+2) = 51. 0 <= n <= 10^12. Use an approach that does not iterate over every integer.

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
