Write a method that returns the GREATEST sum of all the digits in 'num' when 'num' is written in any base from 2 through 10. As preconditions you may assume that 'num' is non-negative. You may copy and paste your solution from the SL problem on THIS test or use any part of that code to help you. For example, if 'num' is 55 you would return 13 since of all the bases from 2 to 10, the one with the greatest sum of digits is base 8 in this case. This is because 55, written in base 8, is "67" (base 8), which has a sum of 13. If you write 55 in any of the other possible bases (2 through 10), it will have a smaller digit sum. Note that which base produces the greatest digit sum will change based on the value if 'num'. Do NOT assume that it will always be base 8! Look at the test data for other examples. test2023_11_16_HL_greatestSumDigits(11) → 6 test2023_11_16_HL_greatestSumDigits(12) → 6 test2023_11_16_HL_greatestSumDigits(13) → 7 ...Save, Compile, Run (ctrl-enter) |
