The characters in the code fragment can be converted to ASCII values and added together. The sum of the ASCII values in the code fragment is 3961. If we take the sum of the digits in that number (3 + 9 + 6 + 1), we get 19. Since we want a single digit answer, we add the digits of 19 together (1 + 9) to get 10, and then add those digits together (1 + 0) to get the final answer of 1. Therefore, the value of sum is 66.
