%What is the sum of the digits of 100!?
%This project uses the symbolic library. Make sure that you install the symbolic library as well as sympy before running this script
%The way to do this is run this command in octave: pkg install -forge symbolic
%This library requires sympy as well. This is easily installed with pip: pip install sympy
