Digital root

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresEntry–Mid~10 min

Given a non-negative integer n, repeatedly replace it with the sum of its digits until a single digit (0-9) remains, then return that digit. For example 38 -> 3+8=11 -> 1+1=2. n fits in a normal integer.

Implement
digit_root(n: int) → int
Examples
in[38]out2
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.
