In the new issue of the Mathematica Journal, One Liners, there is a
program called DigitalRoots which gives the result of iterating the
sum of the digits of an integer. 

 The code given there was 

DigitalRoots[n_]:= FixedPoint[(Plus @@ IntegerDigits[#])&, n]

I have discovered the following more efficient program to compute this:

MyDigitalRoots[n_]:= Mod[n, 9]

There was also a program to reverse the digits of a number:

ReverseInteger[n_]:=  
Module[{m = IntegerDigits[n], i},
       Table[10^i, {i, 0,Length[m]-1}], m]

My program (which only takes One Line) is:

MyReverseInteger[n_]:= Fold[#1 10 + #2&, 0, Reverse[IntegerDigits[n]]]
