DigS (Digit Sum)

DigS (Digit Sum) is a portable, lightweight and user-friendly application whose main purpose is to generate a set of numbers that have a specific digit sum.

In addition to this, the application also computes the digit sum of a number defined by the user. However, the number in question cannot exceed nineteen digits.

Wrapped inside a simple, yet intuitive design, DigS (Digit Sum) was created to meet the requirements of the day-to-day user, regardless of their degree of IT knowledge.

Its main interface sports a basic appearance, although this does not bother the eye especially that it somehow manages to compensate through processing speed, being able to output the results in a fast manner.

There’s no need for detailed instructions in what usage is concerned. Simply select the target sum, as well as the maximum number of digits, then press the ‘Calculate’ button. Higher values for these fields means a larger output list, also reflected in slower processing times.

For instance, setting the digit sum to the highest value, which is nine and the maximum number of digits to its upper limit, which is nineteen will generate a prompt warning you that the calculations will take a very long time, which is to be expected considering the amount of computations that this operation implies.

We couldn’t resist but testing this scenario and surprisingly enough, it didn’t take more than two minutes to complete, with a very low footprint on the system resources.

Alternatively, there’s the possibility to perform a reverse calculation – the utility will compute the digit sum for a number that you get to specify.

Overall, DigS (Digit Sum) impresses through speed and accuracy, being tailored for students and mathematicians who are looking for an automated method of generating numbers based on the digit sum.
