Sum digits in string.

Write a Python program to compute the sum of the digits in a given string.

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a function to calculate the sum of digits in a string
def sum_digits_string(str1):
    # Initialize a variable to store the sum of digits
    sum_digit = 0

    # Iterate over each character in the string
    for char in str1:
        # Check if the current character is a digit
        if char.isdigit():
            # Convert the digit character to an integer
            digit = int(char)

            # Add the digit to the sum
            sum_digit += digit

    # Return the sum of digits
    return sum_digit

# Calculate the sum of digits in the string "123abcd45"
result1 = sum_digits_string("123abcd45")
print(result1)  # Output: 15

# Calculate the sum of digits in the string "abcd1234"
result2 = sum_digits_string("abcd1234")
print(result2)  # Output: 10 

Sample Output:

15
10
