Problem Statement

Write a C program using recursion to count the number of digits in a given positive integer.

Input Format

A positive integer.

Output Format

Print the total digit count.

Constraints

1 <= N <= 1000000

Sample Input

12345

Sample Output

5

Explanation

Recursive relation: countDigits(n) = 1 + countDigits(n / 10) when n > 0, base case n == 0 returns 0.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

int countDigits(int n) {
    // Write your recursive logic here
}

int main() {
    int n;
    if (scanf("%d", &n) == 1) {
        printf("%dn", countDigits(n));
    }
    return 0;
}

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
