Calculate the 'digital root' of each number from 0 to n, where the digital root is the result of repeatedly summing the digits of a number until a single-digit number is reached. This problem tests bit manipulation and dynamic programming skills, crucial for optimizing performance in numerical computations.
Given a non-negative integer 'n', determine the digital root for every number from 0 up to and including 'n'. Return an array where each element at index 'i' represents the digital root of 'i'. The digital root of a number is calculated by iteratively summing its digits until a single-digit number is obtained. For instance, the digital root of 38 is 2 because 3 + 8 = 11, and 1 + 1 = 2.
The brute-force approach involves calculating the digital root for each number from 0 to 'n' independently. Imagine you're a cashier and have to manually sum the digits of each customer's total until you get a single digit. For each number, you'd repeatedly add the digits until a single-digit number remains. This method is straightforward but inefficient as it recalculates the digital root for each number without leveraging any previous computations.
