+# [Recursive Digit Sum](https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/recursive-digit-sum)
+
+- Difficulty:  `#medium`
+- Category: `#ProblemSolvingBasic`
+
+## Language Difficulties
+
+The first attempt solved most of the cases.
+The failed test cases reported a "Runtime error".
+Initially, it seemed pointless, since there are
+no edge cases in the calculations that could cause
+typical runtime errors like division by zero or
+performing operations on a null value.
+
+Unlocking a failed test case, and locally replicating the given input,
+found the real problem:
+
+```text
+ValueError: Exceeds the limit (4300) for integer string conversion
+```
+
+The input number is too high for some reason in Python.
+
+A [little reseach](https://stackoverflow.com/a/75162528/6366150) give some answers:
+
+### Problem fixes
+
+So, the problem arises from a limitation imposed in Python, which fixes
+the size of a number that will be transformed from a string to an integer.
+
+The limit can be increased via a parameter or programmatically.
+However, if the value is set as a hardcoded integer (in test cases),
+it will still fail at runtime.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+>
+> The solution is then to enter the number (from the large test case)
+> as a string and then do the transformation at runtime,
+> including the parameter that arbitrarily extends the length of the number.

+# [Recursive Digit Sum](https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/recursive-digit-sum)
+
+- Difficulty:  `#medium`
+- Category: `#ProblemSolvingBasic`
+
+We define super digit of an integer `x` using the following rules:
+
+Given an integer, we need to find the super digit of the integer.
+
+- If `x` has only `1` digit, then its super digit is `x`.
+- Otherwise, the super digit of `x` is equal to the super digit of
+    the sum of the digits of `x`.
+
+For example, the super digit of `9875` will be calculated as:
+
+```text
+    super_digit(9875)       9+8+7+5 = 29
+    super_digit(29)         2 + 9   = 11
+    super_digit(11)         1 + 1   = 2
+    super_digit(2)                  = 2
+```
+
+## Example
+
+`n = 9875`
+
+`k = 4`
+
+The number `p` is created by concatenating the string `n` `k`
+times so the initial `p = 9875987598759875`.
+
+```text
+    superDigit(p) = superDigit(9875987598759875)
+                  9+8+7+5+9+8+7+5+9+8+7+5+9+8+7+5 = 116
+    superDigit(p) = superDigit(116)
+                  1+1+6 = 8
+    superDigit(p) = superDigit(8)
+```
+
+All of the digits of `p` sum to `116`. The digits of `116` sum to `8`.
+`8` is only one digit, so it is the super digit.
+
+## Function Description
+
+Complete the function superDigit in the editor below.
+It must return the calculated super digit as an integer.
+
+superDigit has the following parameter(s):
+
+- `string n`: a string representation of an integer
+- `int k`: the times to concatenate  to make
+
+## Returns
+
+- `int`: the super digit of  repeated  times
+
+## Input Format
+
+The first line contains two space separated integers, `n` and `k`.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- $ 1 \leq n \leq 10^100000 $
+- $ 1 \leq k \leq 10^5 $
+
+## Sample Input 0
+
+```text
+148 3
+```
+
+## Sample Output 0
+
+```text
+3
+```
+
+## Explanation 0
+
+Here `n = 148` and `k = 3`, so `p = 148148148`.
+
+```text
+super_digit(P) = super_digit(148148148)
+               = super_digit(1+4+8+1+4+8+1+4+8)
+               = super_digit(39)
+               = super_digit(3+9)
+               = super_digit(12)
+               = super_digit(1+2)
+               = super_digit(3)
+               = 3
+```
+
+## Sample Input 1
+
+```text
+9875 4
+```
+
+## Sample Output 1
+
+```text
+8
+```
+
+## Sample Input 2
+
+```text
+123 3
+```
+
+## Sample Output 2
+
+```text
+9
+```
+
+## Explanation 2
+
+Here `n = 123` and `k = 3`, so `p = 123123123`.
+
+```text
+super_digit(P) = super_digit(123123123)
+               = super_digit(1+2+3+1+2+3+1+2+3)
+               = super_digit(18)
+               = super_digit(1+8)
+               = super_digit(9)
+               = 9
