Answer 1

Никита Нестреляев based on what I believe you are trying to do I created this .. and as Hoh Shen Yien pointed out a similar thought 💭

while (num >= 0){
you needed to decrease the
num -= 1
}

Answer 2

It should be
while (num != 0) {
res = num % 10
sum += res
num /= 10
because your num is supposedly decreasing towards 0, and it isn't 0 initially so the while loop will not be executed. Btw, I assumed you are finding sum of digits of a number
