1. Compute sum of digits in all numbers from 1 to n

Input: 11
ouput: 66 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11)

Pattern

sum(9) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ........... + 9
       = 9*10/2 
       = 45

sum(99)  = 45 + (10 + 45) + (20 + 45) + ..... (90 + 45)
         = 45*10 + (10 + 20 + 30 ... 90)
         = 45*10 + 10(1 + 2 + ... 9)
         = 45*10 + 45*10
         = sum(9)*10 + 45*10 

sum(999) = sum(99)*10 + 45*100

 sum(10d - 1) = sum(10d-1 - 1) * 10 + 45*(10d-1) 

Algorithm

1) Find number of digits minus one in n. Let this value be 'd'.  
   For 328, d is 2.

2) Compute some of digits in numbers from 1 to 10d - 1.  
   Let this sum be w. For 328, we compute sum of digits from 1 to 
   99 using above formula.

3) Find Most significant digit (msd) in n. For 328, msd is 3.

4) Overall sum is sum of following terms

    a) Sum of digits in 1 to "msd * 10d - 1".  For 328, sum of 
       digits in numbers from 1 to 299.
        For 328, we compute 3*sum(99) + (1 + 2)*100.  Note that sum of
        sum(299) is sum(99) + sum of digits from 100 to 199 + sum of digits
        from 200 to 299.  
        Sum of 100 to 199 is sum(99) + 1*100 and sum of 299 is sum(99) + 2*100.
        In general, this sum can be computed as w*msd + (msd*(msd-1)/2)*10d

    b) Sum of digits in msd * 10d to n.  For 328, sum of digits in 
       300 to 328.
        For 328, this sum is computed as 3*29 + recursive call "sum(28)"
        In general, this sum can be computed as  msd * (n % (msd*10d) + 1) 
        + sum(n % (10d))
