Hi,
Im writing a program that after writing the name of a person, it calculates the numerology for that name
letters values:
1= a, j, s; 2= b, k, t; 3= c, l, u; 4= d, m, v; 5= e, n, w; 6= f, o, x; 7= g, p, y; 8= h, q, z; 9= i, r

rough pseudocode:

1. calculate name value
2. minimize digits to 1


1calculate name value:
first the name string , length(), 
each char on location digit is compared and given a value to be added in final result of the name,
Kind of done,

char cd = a.charAt(2);
    if (a.equals(cd))

so, is this a  good way to compare the letters values?
then add up all,

2. minimize digits to 1 digit

-  problem: if sumatorie is a given int, how can I add the digits, so I end up with one digit?

option?
the sumatorie is an int, changed to string, compare each digit, to add it, but I get the value of the char,
How to know wich digit Im refering to, and add digits

Example  for case 2:

109
1+0+9=10
1+0=1

thanks!!
