recursionMysteryDivMod

Language/Type: Java recursion

For each call to the following recursive method, write the value that would be returned.

public static int recursionMysteryDivMod(int n) {
    if (n < 0) {
        return recursionMysteryDivMod(-n);
    } else if (n < 10) {
        return n;
    } else {
        return n % 10 + recursionMysteryDivMod(n / 10);
    }
}

(Side note: What is the method really doing?)

recursionMysteryDivMod(8)
recursionMysteryDivMod(74)
recursionMysteryDivMod(-513)
recursionMysteryDivMod(3052)
recursionMysteryDivMod(82534)
