This is such a clear example of the power of an inverse of a function   ^:_1
it is a shame not to stop a while and appreciate it.

Subject: [Jprogramming] Adding up digits in a long number

I want to add up the digits in a long 50-digit number.

Specifically, my question is

1. How to convert a number into a string... e.g. convert 12324343456456 into
a text format. I understand that using *":* works
2. Now, in the output from 1, I want to insert a blank space between each
letter. I am struggling to do that. I tried reshaping etc but not getting
the desired results. What is one single verb which will do the trick for me.
3. After that I will count the frequency of each number and multiply by the
number to get the total - This should not be difficult.

Help with 2 would be very useful.

Regards
