Would it help you to know that subtracting '0' from '1' though '9' gives you the integer value of that character?
'1' - '0' = 1
'2' - '0' = 2
etc.

Perhaps the easiest way of doing this is to use
fgets(charArrayName, sizeof(charArrayName), stdin);to get the number into a string format. Then just "walk" the charArrayName[] char by char, and add up the values as you go (into an integer variable). For your answer, remember to show it using %d, and not %c.
(Each char needs the value of '0' subtracted from it, to get it's integer equivalent, as Jonsca nicely noted, above. )
There are other ways: such as peeling off each digit one at a time, but they are not quite as simple.
If you aren't familiar with fgets() yet, check it out - it can be very useful in all kinds of programs.

First thing is that if your digit is integer form or not if is it in integer then its a very simple task just separate the digit like this
12345%10=5
12345/10=1234
follow this step recursively
if your digit is not in integer form then follow the step given by ADAK
Best Of luck
