/**
 * Alternating Digit Sum
 *
 * You are given a positive integer n. Each digit of n has a sign according to the following rules:
 * - The most significant digit is assigned a positive sign.
 * - Each other digit has an opposite sign to its adjacent digits.
 * Return the sum of all digits with their corresponding sign.
 *
 * Example 1:
 * Input: n = 521
 * Output: 4
 * Explanation: (+5) + (-2) + (+1) = 4.
 *
 * Example 2:
 * Input: n = 111
 * Output: 1
 * Explanation: (+1) + (-1) + (+1) = 1.
 *
 * Example 3:
 * Input: n = 886996
 * Output: 0
 * Explanation: (+8) + (-8) + (+6) + (-9) + (+9) + (-6) = 0.
